CLEAR LAKE -- MnDOT road crews will begin preparing for a major pavement replacement project on Highway 10 Monday.

The work will prompt lane closures and slowdowns between Clear Lake and Big Lake.

Workers will begin installing temporary bypass lanes, turn lanes and widening of major intersections.

The Highway 10 corridor between Clear Lake and Big Lake will be replaced with new pavement in 2012.
