Washington County has teamed up with the City of Forest Lake to get the wheels turning on the County Highway 33 (Everton Avenue) Improvement Project, and they're letting locals in on the plan. If enduring the rumble of construction while you try to sip your morning coffee rattles your nerves, you'll want to mark your calendar for the pre-construction open house that's all about what's coming to the stretch between Broadway Avenue and 220th Street, according to Washington County Minnesota.

While the in-person open house has already taken place yesterday, an opportunity is knocking for those who missed it. The officials have put together an online engagement tool to bring everyone up to speed, so if you didn't make it out to the live event, you can still catch all the details from April 4 to April 18. A postcard sent out to residents dated the online viewing window (PDF).

Curious minds interested in the impending traffic shuffles and construction phases can hit up the project on their official website, as per the Washington County Minnesota. It's where the county will be dishing out all the dirt—quite literally—on how the project will unfold, who will be doing what, and how long you'll be rerouting your morning commute.

The county promises to lay out the whole roadmap for the improvement project in this online portal. Designed to ease concerns and answer questions buzzing in the heads of residents and commuters alike, the platform will showcase the project's objectives, which are paving the way for a better travel experience along County Highway 33 in the long haul.
