Motorists traveling on Highway 210 between Crow Wing County Road 32 and Highway 169 in the city of Aitkin should plan for delays when a detour begins on Wednesday, June 5.

According to the Minnesota Department of Transportation, the closure and detour are necessary to allow the city of Aitkin to work below Highway 210 near Seventh Avenue NW/Aitkin County Road 41 in Aitkin.

What to expect:

• Highway 210 will close to through traffic between Crow Wing County Road 32, about six miles west of Aitkin and the intersection of Highway 169/Minnesota Avenue in Aiktin on Wednesday, June 5. Motorists should follow the signed detour.
• Highway 210 will close to all traffic at Seventh Avenue NW/Aitkin County Road 41 in Aitkin.

All lanes on Highway 210 are scheduled to reopen by June 21, 2019, based on good weather conditions.
