Road construction begins Monday, August 19, at the intersection of Highway 2 and Munger Shaw Road in Solway Township. As a result, both roads will be closed at that intersection for approximately six weeks. The county is constructing left-turn lanes on Highway 2 at the intersection with Munger Shaw Road. The project also includes the permanent closure of the connection of County Road 161 (Old Hwy 2) with US 2 just east of Munger Shaw Road.

St. Louis County Public Works has completed a multi-year project designed to ensure faster and more effective response for road maintenance. The County has constructed three new Public Works campuses, replacing five aged buildings that could no longer effectively serve modern day equipment and service needs. To celebrate and provide residents a look at the new campuses and their capabilities, St. Louis County Public Works will be hosting open house events at each of the new locations, offering tours of the new buildings and a glimpse of the vehicles.
