New Detour In Effect on Highway 23 Between Milaca and Bock

ST. CLOUD (WJON News) -- A new detour on Highway 23 east of St. Cloud as crews continue improving the stretch of highway between Milaca and Ogilvie.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation says the newly paved portion of the highway between Bock and Ogilvie reopened on Friday and the portion of the project between Milaca and Bock closed Monday.

A detour will be required via Mille Lacs County Road 2 and Mille Lacs County Road 1 through mid-September.

Once the detour is lifted, crews will complete the remaining work under traffic. Drivers will experience alternate one-way traffic with flaggers and pilot cars.

All lanes are scheduled to reopen in early October.

LOOK: Here are the 50 best beach towns in America

Every beach town has its share of pluses and minuses, which got us thinking about what makes a beach town the best one to live in. To find out, Stacker consulted data from WalletHub, released June 17, 2020, that compares U.S. beach towns. Ratings are based on six categories: affordability, weather, safety, economy, education and health, and quality of life. The cities ranged in population from 10,000 to 150,000, but they had to have at least one local beach listed on TripAdvisor. Read the full methodology here. From those rankings, we selected the top 50. Readers who live in California and Florida will be unsurprised to learn that many of towns featured here are in one of those two states.
