Warroad Road Construction

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.
