Highway 171 St. Vincent/Pembina detour begins August 5

A detour for the Highway 171 bridge improvement project in St. Vincent is expected to begin Aug. 5, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation.

Motorists will use a detour for approximately three weeks via ND Hwy 59, I‑29, ND Hwy 5, MN Hwy 175, Kittson County Roads 16, 6 and 12, MN Hwy 75, and Hwy 171. During the closure, crews will complete pier repairs and an overlay on the south half of the bridge.
