ST. CLOUD, Minn. - Construction continues on a
Highway 55 four-lane expansion project from east of Wright County
Highway 34 to Wright County Highway 134.
Safety improvements include:
During construction, Highway 55 will remain open to two-way traffic
with periodic traffic lane shifts. In late October, traffic was
shifted onto the newly completed westbound lanes to allow crews
to construct the eastbound lanes. Drivers are urged to slow down
and drive with care through the work zone.
The $2.8 million expansion project was jointly funded by the
Highway 55 Corridor Coalition, the city of Buffalo and the Minnesota
Department of Transportation.
Mathiowetz Construction of Sleepy Eye is the prime contractor,
with the city of Buffalo serving as project supervisors.
Work on the project will continue until winter weather suspends
operations. In the spring, crews will resume work and complete
the the project by June 2009.
