Road construction begins Monday, Aug. 19, at the intersection of Highway 2 and Munger Shaw Road in Solway Township. As a result, both roads will be closed at that intersection for approximately six weeks.
Detour signs will be posted, directing traffic on Munger Shaw Road to use Hermantown Road, Jeffrey Road, and Maple Grove Road. Meanwhile, Highway 2 traffic will be directed to use Canosia Road, Maple Grove Road, and Midway Road.
Access to the Solway Town Hall will be from the north only during the closure. Access to Munger Tavern will be from the south on Munger Shaw Road or from the west on Old Highway 2. Access to Independent Apostolic Lutheran Church will be from the east only.
Both roads are expected to reopen by Sept. 28.
