Willmar, Minn. - The Minnesota Department of Transportation announced today that
U.S. Highway 212 east of Granite Falls will be closed to traffic beginning Wednesday
(November 10) until approximately November 24 during a railroad crossing improvement
project at the NSP Plant.
A partnership between Mn/DOT and NSP has resulted in a plan to make much needed
improvements at the NSP plant railroad crossing. Plans call to replace the rubber crossing
with concrete and repaving a portion of the approaching highway.
Minnesota Railroad Service, Inc., Lakeville, Minn., and Fagen, Inc., Granite Falls, Minn.,
will complete the $88,120 project.
The detour route will be via Yellow Medicine County Road 22, Chippewa C.R. 5, C.R. 38,
and T.H. 23.
Mn/DOT and NSP thank motorists, businesses and local residents for their cooperation
and patience during the project.
