As we mentioned earlier in the year, here we go again with highway work impacting traffic flows in our area. Starting next Monday, April 6th, US Highway 51 will be completely closed between US Hwy 8 and County Road L for bridge repairs on the Bearskin Creek Bridge. The "official" detour is US Highway 8 east to Highway 47. We know locals and most others will figure out some unofficial routes. Let's all be careful with the increase in traffic on our local roads, including the 45MPH speed limit on most of County Road L. Also be aware that the County Road L segment between Rocky Road and Lakewood Road is always part of the Bearskin State Bike Trail, so watch out for people on bicycles as well, particularly in that area.
