D6 - Hwy 57 in Kasson: 2022 construction
More work is needed before road will reopen in November
Be alert for additional traffic from construction trucks and the paving crews on Highway 57 in Kasson on Friday and Saturday of this week.
Crews are scheduled to put the last layer of asphalt on the southern end of the road in the construction zone beginning on Friday. Additional paving work and the first layers of pavement are scheduled to be done on Saturday on the north end of the project north of Seventh Street past the fairgrounds.
Traffic will not be allowed on the road yet, except for local residents to reach their homes or businesses.
It's a signal that the work is getting closer to completion next month.
We thank you for your patience.
And don't forget, this will be a two-year project expected to wrap up in July 2023.
During Stage 2 next year, reconstruction work from south of Veterans Memorial Highway/Dodge Co. Rd. 34 to south of 1st St. NE will be completed, including the roundabout at Co. Rd. 34 and the mini roundabout at Main Street.
 The first layers of pavement are planned for Saturday for this stretch of Highway 57 on the north end of Kasson.
 The last layer of pavement is planned for Friday for this stretch of Highway 57 in Kasson, but only local traffic to get to residences will be allowed on it afterward. Full traffic will be allowed on it next month once the remainder of the work is completed.
