MnDot is planning to do two construction projects on U.S. Hwy 59 this summer between Garvin and Slayton.

The 2012 construction on Highway 59 consists of two projects which will occur simultaneously utilizing the same detour in order to minimize impact. The projects should take two to four months to complete an are both expected to start in July 2012.

The first is a Concrete Rehabilitation Project (CRP) which includes rehabilitating 12 miles of Highway 59 concrete. The project will run from the "S" curve at the north junction Highway 30 to Highway 14.  Click on the following link for a map of this project: http://www.dot.state.mn.us/d8/projects/hwy59/Scurvealignment.pdf

The second project is a resurfacing and fix of the "S" curve which includes the realignment of Highway 30 and County Road 12 at the north junction Highway 59, along with 6 miles of mill & overlay from that junction to Slayton.
