Roseau, Minn — Drivers in northern Minnesota should prepare for another busy road construction season this summer. Minnesota Department of Transportation says work will continue along Highway 11 between Warroad and Roseau, beginning May 18th with specific detour routes in place during construction time period. 

Continuing this summer is the major bridge project in Warroad, which is set to go down to one lane on June 1st.

During Warroad’s town hall meeting, MnDOT Project Manager Cole Nelson explained the project and what residents can expect to be different from last year during construction season.

Officials are encouraging motorists to plan ahead, watch for changing traffic patterns, and allow extra travel time throughout the summer months. More information on these detours and construction plans is available on the DNR website.

Warroad, Minn — A new art exhibit is now open at Warroad RiverPlace — and admission is free for the public.

The exhibit named “The Language of Fire: From Precision to Unpredictability” features the work of Red Lake Falls ceramic artist Robin Foster. 

The exhibit explores the possibilities of clay through a variety of firing techniques, from carefully controlled kiln-fired pieces to more unpredictable methods like pit firing and Raku — creating unique colors and textures throughout the collection.

The exhibit is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information on Robin Foster and his work with the exhibit is available at warroad-riverplace.org.
