Drivers and local residents in Clearwater, Minnesota, are getting the chance to throw in their two cents on a major road project set for their community. The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) is calling for public input, on the planned 2026 rebuild of the bridge that spans I-94 on Hwy. 24, a vital connection stretching from 179th Street to Ash Street.
The outreach is part of MnDOT's process to address traffic issues that could arise from CSAH 7, all the way to the Mississippi River. According to Wright County, Minnesota, while no additional projects are currently ticketed for the next funding cycle for Hwy. 24, this survey enables locals who use the corridor to have a say. The feedback is crucial, it will help catalyze future funding opportunities and aid the community in bracing for planned developments.
Notably, MnDOT is not just idly gathering opinions. This effort is calculated and designed to tap into the community's pulse and gather data that could shape the route's future and ensure that the overhaul meets local needs. As the passage over I-94 braces for a facelift, MnDOT is moving to preemptively mitigate any problems that could come from increased traffic and growth in the Clearwater area, as per the Wright County, Minnesota.
Residents and frequenters of the Hwy. 24 corridor who wish to contribute their perspectives can find the survey on the county's website.
