Construction on Hwy 2 from the Prairie River outside of Grand Rapids to 2 miles east of Hwy 65 in Itasca County will begin on June 7. This 19 mile repaving project will require a detour. The initial detour will run on Hwy 65 to Hwy 200 to County Road 3 into Grand Rapids. The truck detour will run on Hwy 65 to Hwy 200 to Hwy 169.
Local traffic will be able to access businesses and properties in the construction zone, but through traffic will need to take the detour. For maps and more information, please visit: http://www.dot.state.mn.us/d1/projects/hwy2-reclaim/index.html

Construction of a new roundabout at the intersection of State Highways 5 and 36 in Ngongotahā began in September last year and has caused congestion on the way in and out of Rotorua.
