Mn/DOT schedules aerial photos of Highway 7 and Highway 12
The Minnesota Department of Transportation will conduct aerial mapping of Highway 7 from Highway 29 in Montevideo to Highway 59 in Appleton, and on Highway 12, one half mile east and west of the junction with the Highway 23/71 Bypass. This mapping will create a photo record of the existing infrastructure and landscape which will be used to plan future improvements.
Mn/DOT paints or places large white X target marks on the ground. A survey crew then records the coordinate position and elevation of the targets and provides this information to the Photogrammetric Unit. The targets are temporary and will be removed when the photography is completed.
Mn/DOT requests that landowners work around these targets until the photography is completed which takes approximately two weeks. Mn/DOT’s goal is to finish the aerial mapping before area farmers need to begin work in their fields. The aerial flights are scheduled to begin the first part of April, but may be delayed if clouds restrict visibility.
For more information, contact Mn/DOT survey staff at survey staff at 320-214-6352 or 1-800-657-3792.
