ROCHESTER, Minn. – The Minnesota Department of Transportation invites the community to an in-person public meeting for the Highway 19 reconstruction project on November 19 from 4 to 6 p.m. at Northfield City offices.

During the drop-in style meeting at 801 Washington Street South, Northfield, MN 55057, attendees will be able to review the preliminary plans for Highway 19, learn about anticipated detours, ask questions, and provide feedback about the project, which is scheduled for construction in 2028. There will be no formal presentation.
