DETROIT LAKES, Minn. – Construction of the new J-turn at the intersection of Highway 10 and County Road 60 west of Perham is nearing completion and expected to open to traffic this afternoon, Friday, July 12, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation.

A J-turn is a type of reduced conflict intersection, converting side street through-travel and left-turn movements into right turns, followed by a U-turn. Studies show a 70 percent reduction in fatalities and a 42 percent reduction in injury crashes where J-turns are used. Find more information on driving J-turns.
