BAXTER, Minn. - Crews will resume construction of the $10.2 million
Highway 10 four-lane expansion project in Staples beginning the
week of April 14, weather permitting.
The four-lane segment through the city of Staples opened to four-lanes
of traffic last fall. This season, crews will complete the short
remaining section west of town from 255th Avenue to Township Road
75, according to Darren Nelson, Minnesota Department of Transportation
project supervisor.
Additional work includes removing temporary roads and connections,
constructing eastbound and westbound road connections on the east
end of town, landscaping, rebuilding turf and installing a decorative
concrete boulevard.
During the work, traffic will be shifted onto the completed eastbound
lanes to allow crews to construct the westbound lanes. Motorists
may also encounter intermittent lane and shoulder closures throughout
the work zone.
Mathiowetz Construction Corporation of Sleepy Eye is the prime
contractor for the safety improvement project, which is scheduled
to be complete in early July.
MnDOT urges motorists to slow down, watch for lane shifts and
sudden stops, and be alert for workers and heavy moving equipment
in the work zone. For updated statewide traffic, construction, weather
