The MnDOT Worker Memorial
The Worker Memorial honors those who lost their lives while working to construct and maintain highway projects across the state of Minnesota.
The memorial is accessible on weekdays from 7-5. The touch screen kiosk provides visitors with information on the history of the memorial, a listing of those killed and recognition of memorial construction donors.
The memorial was dedicated in April 2000. It was conceived by MnDOT employee, Trent Weber. View a short slideshow of memorial dedication.
