ST. MARTIN (WJON News) -- A road reconstruction project in Stearns County will force some drivers to detour around the work zone this summer.

On Monday, crews will begin a project on County Road 12 between St. Martin and County Road 14, east of Spring Hill.

Crews will begin with erosion control devices and pavement removal.

A detour has been established to the north of St. Martin, via County Road 10 to County Road 30/176 and over to County Road 12. Other local roads in the vicinity may provide alternative routes.
