Z ARCHIVE - D2 - Hwy 1/ Hwy 32 in Thief River Falls: 2020 Construction
Thief River Falls construction projects remain on schedule
Good afternoon Thief River Falls,
Among MnDOT, county, city and the watershed district, there are multiple projects happening in the TRF area. MnDOT has coordinated with other agencies to limit overall impacts through staging and shared detours. We will provide updates throughout the project.
What is happening now?
Hwy 1 - Construct three roundabouts, frontage road and multi-use trail between Hwy 59 and Kinney Ave
What’s happening now: The first phase of construction will begin June 1 for three roundabouts along Highway 1 in Thief River Falls. Work during this phase will take place on Highway 1 between Kinney Avenue and East Ruby Avenue, as crews construct a frontage road as well as roundabouts at Brooks Avenue and Barzen Avenue.
Current Traffic Impacts: Motorists will detour onto First Street West.
Hwy 32 - Construct roundabout at the intersection with Pennington CR 8 and CR 16
Current Traffic impacts - No change in traffic flow. Motorists continue using the bypass for north/south traffic with access to CR 8. Access to CR 16 remains closed.
Challenger Elementary/Airport Rd. Roundabout - Construct roundabout at Pennington Ave S/Pennington CR 17 near Challenger Elementary
Current Traffic Impacts: Intersection will be closed Monday, June 1. Detour will be in place.

Where can I get more information?
Between MnDOT, Pennington County, the City of Thief River Falls, and the Red Lake Watershed, there are 10 projects happening in Thief River Falls and the surrounding area in 2020. The projects do not all begin at once as MnDOT and its partners have worked together to combine and stage detours to lessen the overall impact on motorists. For more information on those projects visit mndot.gov/d2/projects/2020/thief-river-falls.
