About this project
In fall of 2013, MnDOT will begin construction on a new interchange at Hwy 10 and Benton CR 2 in Rice.
The interchange will be much safer, with all left-turn median movements removed.
Hwy 10 will go over Benton CR 2 with access ramps and local road connections.
Acceleration lanes will be added at Benton CR 31/Gateway Drive to address the area's increased commercial freight traffic.
During construction Hwy 10 will be maintained on temporary bypass lanes through the area. Motorists exiting into or from city and county roads may encounter access detours.
The entire project is to be completed by fall 2014.
For more information contact Claudia Dumont, MnDOT project manager, at 320-223-6530.
