2021 Construction: Hwy 12 Ortonville to Hwy 59
We're getting closer to the finish line on the Highway 12 project! Crews are nearly complete with the box culvert replacement at Stony Run, plus paving has started in Stage 5, too! Once the Stony Run culvert is passable, and as long as the weather cooperates, paving should be done by the end of the week.
Before the roadway can reopen, though, crews will do final striping, rumbles and sign installation. They will begin some of that work this week continuing into next week, with a goal to reopen Highway 12 by next weekend!
Outside of the work being done in Stage 5, crews are finishing up shouldering in Stages 3 and 4, and seeding and mulching in Stages 1 and 2. Even when the road reopens, motorists should expect to see crews still at work.
For reference, here are the five stages of construction:
-
Stage 1: Highway 59 to Highway 119
-
Stage 2: Highway 119 to Big Stone County Road 80
-
Stage 3: Big Stone CR 80 to Big Stone CR 23
-
Stage 4: Big Stone CR 23 to Big Stone CR 21
-
Stage 5: Big Stone CR 21 to Highway 75
Reminder: Highway 12 remains closed to thru-traffic. If you do not have a destination along Highway 12, please continue to follow the detour route on Highway 75, Highway 7 and Highway 59.
