Memorial Day Weekend travelers up the North Shore need to know about a road closure.

Heavy rains have caused Highway 61 near Grand Marais to be closed.  The closure happens approximately one mile west of town.

State officials have detoured all motor vehicles except semi-trailers via Birch Road and Cook County Road 7 to Hghway 61.
