Brainerd roundabout construction at Willow Street begins Aug. 4
The City of Brainerd will begin construction Monday, Aug. 4, on a new single-lane roundabout at the intersection of Business Highway 371 (S Sixth Street) and Willow Street, reports the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
Travelers will encounter a hard closure on Business Highway 371 (S Sixth Street) between Joseph Street and Vine Street and Willow Street east and west of the intersection. See Figure 1.
Trucks and through traffic must use the signed detour along Industrial Park Road SW (Crow Wing County Road 117), 13th Street SE (Crow Wing County Road 45) and Washington Street (Highway 210).
Local access maintained for those who live, work or visit those in the neighborhood. Follow road signs and stay out of closed barricaded areas. This includes pedestrian sidewalk closures and detours.
When open in fall 2025, the $1.4 million roundabout will improve access, traffic flow and motorist and pedestrian safety.
