ST. PAUL (KDLM) – MnDOT has announced more than 230 construction projects on Minnesota’s roads, bridges and transportation infrastructure this summer.
“Minnesotans will soon see work zones popping up throughout the state,” said MnDOT Interim Commissioner Nancy Daubenberger. “Each of these projects represents an investment in a more efficient and reliable transportation system for all people. As always, safety is MnDOT’s top priority – so we urge motorists to pay attention to signage in work zones, slow down, and put away distractions behind the wheel. Everyone, including our hardworking road and construction workers, deserves to get home safely.”
The 2022 state construction program remains largely unchanged by the federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), as the federal appropriation bill was just passed by Congress in mid-March and the Minnesota State Legislature must still approve budget authority before MnDOT can spend additional federal funds.
Significant projects in the Lakes Area include repairing frontage road along Hwy 10 in Detroit Lakes; resurfacing and improving safety on Highway 71 north of Bemidji with eight redesigned intersections; replacing the Hwy 9 bridge over the Mustinka River near Norcross; resurfacing and widening shoulders on Hwy 55 from Elbow Lake to Barrett; and resurfacing Hwy 108 from I-94 to 9th Street in Pelican Rapids.
