BAXTER, Minn. – The Minnesota Department of Transportation invites the public to attend an open house and public hearing for the Highway 10 project in Elk River.
The open house will be held on Thursday, Dec. 2, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., at the Elk River City Hall, 13065 Orono Pkwy., in Elk River. The event will provide an opportunity to learn about the proposed project, make comments and ask questions.
The proposed project will reconstruct Highway 10 as a freeway in Elk River between Upland Ave./County Road 44 and the Highway 10/Highway 101/Highway 169 interchange. The purpose of the project is to improve regional mobility, traffic operations and local connectivity/accessibility while serving as a guide for comprehensive planning in the city of Elk River.
