NORTHFIELD, Minn. – Motorists on Highway 246 (Division Street South) in Northfield will encounter a detour July 8-9 for pavement repairs, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation.

Northbound Highway 246 motorists will be detoured around the work zone by traveling west on Jefferson Parkway to Highway 3 north and then east on Highway 246 (Woodley Street). Southbound motorists on Highway 246/Division Street South will use the route in reverse.

Residents near the work zone between Fremont and Woodley streets will be able to reach their homes.

Work is scheduled to repair damaged pavement, which requires closure of the road for two days. If work is completed earlier, the road will open sooner, weather permitting.
