About this project
MnDOT proposes to improve six miles of Hwy 10 from west of Wadena at 620th Ave., Otter Tail County, to east of Wadena at Oink Joint Rd./140th St., Wadena County. Preliminary design and environmental review is currently in progress.
- Rural:
- 620th Ave. near Bluffton to 640th Ave. in Wadena
- Shady Lane Dr. in Wadena to east of Oink Joint Rd./140th St.
- Urban: 640th Ave. to Shady Lane Dr. in Wadena
Potential solutions to share
In response to the community's input, the project team has an updated preliminary layout to share, which considers new alternatives such as roundabouts at 640th St. (hospital) and Harry Rich Dr.
The new concepts further improve access to Hwy 10 and address safety concerns as travelers enter the city from the west or east at high speeds. You may view the layout at City Hall (222 2nd Street SE) or download here:
