MnDOT Will Work On 230 Road Construction Projects This Year

MINNESOTA — The 2022 construction season will include 230 different projects across Minnesota, the state Department of Transportation announced Thursday.

The projects aim to maintain Minnesota's roads, bridges, and transportation infrastructure and improve safety and access.

"Minnesotans will soon see work zones popping up throughout the state," said MnDOT Interim Commissioner Nancy Daubenberger in a news release.

"Each of these projects represents an investment in a more efficient and reliable transportation system for all people. As always, safety is MnDOT's top priority – so we urge motorists to pay attention to signage in work zones, slow down, and put away distractions behind the wheel. Everyone, including our hardworking road and construction workers, deserves to get home safely."
