Benton County has a handful of construction projects scheduled for 2015. The projects include re-surfacing County Roads 51 and 66 east of Foley, County Road 58 east of Sauk Rapids and North Benton Drive from the Bridge of Hope to Highway 10.
Reconstruction work on Benton Drive starts up Monday, forcing you to detour around a two-block section near the Coborn's Superstore. It will close a portion of Benton Drive until the end of June.
Be prepared for some construction work on Benton Drive in Sauk Rapids. Officials plan to redo a three-block section of the road from 2nd Street South to 5th Street South.
The Sauk Rapids City Council has voted to make a change to a busy intersection. For several years the council has discussed the need to make improvements to the five-leg Benton Drive/5th Street South/2nd Avenue South intersection.
