D3 - Hwy 12 in Howard Lake, Waverly & Montrose: 2025 construction
Howard Lake
Due to wet weather conditions and schedule conflicts during first week of construction in Howard Lake, MnDOT and the contractor will need to extend the overnight pipe work and detour into the week of May 4-10. We apologize for the inconvenience.
 May 4–10
- Overnight closures (7 p.m. to 7 a.m.) between 10th Ave. and Seventh Ave.
- Follow detour signs along 10th Ave., Seventh St. and Seventh Ave. Detour map (PNG)
- Good weather is necessary to complete this work.
- During this time, crews will replace pipes beneath the road.
May 12 to mid-July
- Hwy 12 will stay open with one lane in each direction from west of 13th Ave. to east of Sixth Ave.
- Drivers should expect narrow lanes, lane shifts, gravel surfaces and flaggers directing traffic. Shoulders and turn lanes will close temporarily.
- 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.
 Next stops
- Waverly work kicks off in mid-May.
- Montrose follows in mid-July.
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.
