Roundabout
CSAH 3/11 South of Crosslake
Project Overview:
The Crow Wing County Highway Department has entered into a contract with Anderson Brothers Construction to construct a roundabout at the intersection of County State Aid Highways (CSAH) 3 & 11, just south of Crosslake. The work will consist of constructing a single lane roundabout, which will include curb and gutter, storm sewer, pedestrian improvements, and a lighting system. During construction, the intersection will be closed, and a detour will be in place (see diagram to the right).
Current Update:
- The intersection of CSAH 3 and CSAH 11 IS OPEN. A big thanks to the prime contractor Anderson Brothers Construction, the other contractors, and County staff (and the weather) for the excellent coordination to allow the opening a month ahead of schedule. Please drive with caution as final pavement markings, final lighting, and removal of the bypass road and the detour signing will need to be done under traffic. This was a very important safety improvement for the many users of these roadways.
If you have any questions or comments about this project, please contact the project manager Jordan Larson or call (218) 824-1110.
