MANKATO, Minn. - Citizens interested in the Highway 169 design-build project in Saint Peter are invited to an open house on Thursday, June 25, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., at the Saint Peter Community Center, 600 South Fifth Street.
Representatives from the Minnesota Department of Transportation, city of St. Peter and the contractor will provide attendees with information about the roadway and street scape design, the upcoming construction schedule, planned traffic detours and what to expect during construction.
