About this project
Preliminary work is underway to build nine temporary crossovers to carry traffic across the median next year. The crossovers will allow traffic to cross the median and travel in a single lane in each direction on the side not under construction. In addition to this year’s crossover construction, crews will also replace 12 culverts along the 14.5 mile stretch of road between Spring Lake Park and East Bethel.
Resurfacing of Hwy 65 from Co. Rd. 10 in Spring Lake Park to 237th Avenue in East Bethel begins in the spring of 2024.
