ST. CLOUD, Minn. – Motorists will encounter daytime delays on Highway 23 
between Ogilvie and Mora as the road is reduced to a single lane 
beginning Friday, Aug. 8.

The lane closures will occur Mondays through Saturdays from sunrise to 
sunset through Sept. 15.

Flaggers and a pilot car will allow one-way, alternating traffic through 
the daily work zone. Motorists approaching the work zone must obey the 
flagger, be prepared to stop and follow the pilot car through the work zone.

Motorists entering the work zone from driveways or roads that intersect 
Highway 23 must wait for the pilot car to pass, then follow it through 
the work zone.

The closures are needed as crews resurface Highway 23 between the 
Groundhouse River east of Olgilvie and Highway 65 in Mora, add or extend 
turn lanes and improve drainage infrastructure.

Lane closures and resurfacing on Highway 65 south of Mora between the 
Ann River and County Road 11 began Monday, Aug. 4, and will continue 
through Aug. 29.

When complete, the projects will provide a smoother ride, improve safety 
and preserve an efficient and effective transportation system for local 
and interregional travelers.
