Major roadwork is expected to begin this week in the Parkers Prairie area, according to the Otter Tail County Highway Department.
Crews will start to reconstruct Otter Tail County Roads 46 and 95 in Parkers Prairie beginning the week of July 26. The contracted completion date is set for October 29, 2021.
Otter Tail County and the City of Parkers Prairie will work in conjunction to reconstruct the road and utilities on County Road 66 (E. Main St.) from State Highway 29 to the Soo Line Railroad and on County Road 95 (E. Colfax St. and S. Douglas St.) from Highway 29 to E. Soo St.
The project will begin with the removal of the existing roads. The streets will be closed to through traffic and detours will be set up. Access to properties will be maintained, for the most part, throughout the project, according to the Otter Tail County Highway Department.
Central Specialties of Alexandria is the construction contractor and Moore Engineering will oversee the day-to-day construction on-site. If you have questions or concerns during the project, contact Anthony Johnson (320) 249-3917 or Nick Anderson (320) 281-5493 with Moore Engineering.
