Road Construction Doesn't Stop Us! Warroad Businesses Are Open, Events are Happening & We're Ready for You!
Warroad is open for business and excited to welcome visitors this summer! While MnDOT works on important infrastructure upgrades, here’s what you need to know to plan a smooth trip:
1. Bridge ReconstructionvHwy 11
- No passenger vehicle detours – The bridge is reduced to one lane but passable all season 
- Commercial vehicles – Truck routes may follow temporary detours; check 511MN.org 
- Plan for minor delays – Allow extra time during peak hours 
2. Roundabout Installation (Near Dairy Queen)
- What to expect: Lane shifts and reduced speeds—follow posted signage 
3. Local Businesses Are Open & We Events Are Happening!
Construction won’t disrupt access to Warroad’s shops, restaurants, attractions, or events:
- Dining: Coffee shops, casual eats, and ice cream remain easily accessible 
- Shopping: Boutiques, outdoor gear stores, and souvenir spots welcome visitors 
- Outdoor Activities: Fishing, parks, and trails are unaffected 
- Events are happening! Join us for Northborn Music Festival, 4th of July, Celebrity Golf Tournament, Walleye Tournament, Yellow Rose, & MORE!
Please continue to support local businesses—they’re open and ready to serve you. Any detours, follow the posted signs.
