A segment of Highway 2 in Saginaw will close for up to three weeks as CN Railroad makes repairs to a railroad bridge. Highway 2 will be closed between Highways 33 and 194, beginning Monday, April 14, through Friday, May 2.

Signs will be posted directing general traffic to use Highway 33 and Saginaw Road as a detour.

Due to load restrictions on Saginaw Road, large trucks with five-ton or greater axle weight will be directed to a separate detour using Highway 33, Industrial Road, Canosia Road and Highway 194. Additionally, trucks and combination vehicles over 10,000 pounds must enter the weigh station on Hwy 2.

Here is a weather model (HRRR model) forecast of near-surface smoke trends through the rest of today into tonight. Overall note is that a cold front moving south through northern Minnesota will result in winds shifting to northwest and then northerly, which will bring the plumes of wildfire smoke into the Arrowhead and eventually down towards the Twin Ports and into northwest Wisconsin towards the very late evening/overnight hours. The smoke is highlighted in brown, with darker shades indicating higher smoke concentrations. US National Weather Service, Duluth, Minnesota
