Hunters can expect roadway changes and construction crews and equipment along a pipeline project in northern Minnesota this firearms deer season.

The Enbridge Energy project stretches from the North Dakota border through Thief River Falls, Clearbrook, Bemidji, and Grand Rapids to Superior, including the Chippewa National Forest.

“With Minnesota’s Firearms Deer Season opening on Nov. 7, the company is concerned that hunters may encounter many right-of-ways that have been changed or closed due to the construction project,” said Jeff Wiklund, senior compliance specialist, Enbridge Energy. “We are also asking hunters to be careful and cautious around our employees, construction traffic and periodic congestion on roadways.”

Maps of the construction area are available at many sports and retail outlets frequented by hunters.

Enbridge will also be informing landowners along the pipeline corridor that work will continue during the deer season.
