*Highway 47 lane closures in Isanti County begin July 6*

**

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 Monday, July 6.

The lane closures will occur from sunrise to sunset daily, and will be 
complete by July 29.

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 
<http://www.mndot.gov/d3/graphics2/pilotcar.pdf>.

The closures are needed as 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.
