New Traffic Signal System Installation of a new traffic signal system begins Monday, May 19, at the intersection of Highway 371 and Crow Wing County Highway 16 north of Pequot Lakes. Work includes widening the intersection and installing overhead lighting. Anderson Brothers Construction of Brainerd is the prime contractor for the $373,000 safety improvement project.  During the work, motorists may encounter occasional shoulder and lane closures with flaggers controlling traffic. The new signal system will be fully operational by mid-June, weather permitting.
