D6 - Hwy 43 in Winona: 2022 road reconstruction
 
The Minnesota Department of Transportation is reconstructing the 3/4-mile stretch of Hwy 43/Mankato Avenue between Sugar Loaf View and Belleview Street in Winona to improve safety and reduce congestion. Construction will run through early November.
Here is an update on the work happening now and construction impacts to come. Please share with friends and others whom you know are interested in staying informed.
Current work
- Construction is focused on the Hwy 61/Hwy 43 intersection and along Hwy 61.
- All businesses can be accessed throughout this work zone.
- Please be alert when traveling through the work zone and look for the turn lane and lane closure signs.
- Lane closures are present on Hwy 43 and Mankato Avenue as you approach and travel through the intersection at Hwy 61.
Private utility work not related to this project is occurring on other streets adjacent to Mankato Avenue.
Looking ahead: Reminder of work to come in May, June
- Construction will begin on Hwy 43/Mankato Avenue, beginning in mid-May, likely the week of May 16.
- Work will begin on the west side, near Winona Health.
- Crews will build the roundabouts one half at a time.
- Parks Avenue near Dairy Queen and Winona Health, will be the first intersection that is temporarily closed during construction. Detour maps will be posted closer to the time the work takes place. Motorists can also reach these destinations via Parks Avenue off Hwy 61.
- Crews will only close one side street at a time, leaving the remaining two streets open to allow access to destinations. As they complete one, they will open it and move on to the next.
- No left turns will be allowed, but detour signs will show motorists how to turn right and cross Mankato Avenue. Detour maps will be posted on the project website in the coming weeks and shared via email.
- Temporary traffic signals will be installed throughout Mankato Avenue/Hwy 43 when this work begins.
- Work on Sarnia Street to replace a box culvert (a concrete structure used for drainage and road work) will begin in mid-June. There may be a short-term detour on Hwy 43 during this work.
