- Work will occur mostly between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.
Crews will pave Hwy 12 with new asphalt, repair curbs, gutters and entrances, and upgrade sidewalks and ramps. In downtown Howard Lake, they will widen sidewalks and update crosswalk signals.

Everything will wrap up this fall with the final road paving and permanent markings in each city, all scheduled to be finished by mid-October.
Hwy 12 is open
Access to businesses and residents will be maintained and open during this project. However, expect use of alternate entrances or side streets, includes sidewalk detours.
When complete in mid-October, the project will create smoother roads and improve safety for drivers and pedestrians on Hwy 12.
