> Highway 47 lane closures in Isanti County begin July 9
>  
> ST. CLOUD, Minn. – Motorists traveling Highway 47 between St. Francis and Isanti County Road 16 will encounter delays as segments of the road are reduced to a single lane beginning Thursday, July 9.
>  
> The lane closures will occur from sunrise to sunset daily, and will be complete by August 1.
>  
> Flaggers and a pilot car will allow one-way, alternating traffic through the daily work zones. Motorists should slow down and prepare to stop as they approach each work zone, obey the flaggers and use caution as they follow the pilot car through the daily work zones.
>  
> Also, motorists entering a work zone from driveways or roads that intersect Highway 47 must wait for the pilot car to pass, then follow it through the work zone.
>  
> For more details on how to safely navigate work zones with pilot cars, visit www.mndot.gov/d3/graphics2/pilotcar.pdf.
> 
> The closures are needed while crews resurface 21 miles of Highway 47. When complete, the project will result in a smoother ride and ensure Highway 47 continues to serve Minnesota motorists and local communities for many years.
