Highway 37 work near Cherry underway

DULUTH, Minn. – The Minnesota Department of Transportation has started work on intersection improvements on Highway 37 at County Road 137/Spirit Lake Road and County Road 661/Fraser Road. This project will widen the highway to add left and right turn lanes.

There is no access to County Road 661/Fraser Road from Highway 37 through July 2, and traffic will be detoured on to County Road 25 to Town Line Road and back to Fraser Road. A later detour will be required for Spirit Lake Road. Through traffic on Highway 37 will be maintained for the entire project.
