Just when residents and out-of-towners thought they were getting to know all the recent Sartell detours, along come some more.
Due to Pinecone road construction Phase 2, new detours began Monday, July 20 and are expected to stay in place until sometime in August.
The following are the road disruptions to keep in mind:
• Pinecone Road from 7th Street N. to Sundance Road are closed to thru-traffic. Pavement will be removed on that stretch of Pinecone. The intersection of Pinecone Road N. and 2-1/2 Street N. will remain open to east-west traffic until the final week before paving.
• Local businesses (including Mulligans Event Center and Nemeth Orthodontics) will be accessible from 7th Street N.
• Residents of the Pine Tree Pond and Rolling Meadows neighborhoods will have access to 2-1/2 Street N. and should detour via 19th Street N. or Riverside Avenue.
• Detour routes will be signed and include 7th Street N. from Pinecone Road N. to Riverside Avenue, Riverside Avenue from 7th Street N. to Heritage Drive, and Heritage Drive from Riverside Avenue to Pinecone Road S.
Crews continue to work on the roundabout which will be located at the intersection of Pinecone Road and 2nd Street S. A worker in the foreground uses a jackhammer to pound dirt flat, while a cement truck pours in the background.
