Hwy 15 in Kimball: 2023 construction

You’re invited to an open house

MnDOT invites you to an in-person construction open house on Thursday, June 15, to learn about the upcoming Hwy 15 resurfacing project. The open house will be held from 4-5:30 p.m. in the Dassel City Hall Community Room, 460 3rd St. in Dassel.

There are no formal presentations, and you are invited to stop by at your convenience during open house hours. MnDOT staff and the contractor will be available to answer questions about the construction phase of the project, including the timeline and detour.

Traffic impacts

Hwy 15 will be closed to through traffic for the duration of the project.

The detour route uses Hwy 12, Wright CR 3, and Hwy 55 (see area shown in orange on the map on page 3).

Signs near French Lake will direct local traffic to Kingston.

Access will be available to people who live, work, or visit homes and businesses in the work zone area.

About this project

Hwy 15 is being resurfaced from Hwy 12 in Dassel to the Meeker/Stearns County line near Kimball.

Guardrail near the Kingston bridge will be replaced as part of the project.

Thirty culverts will be lined along the project area and three culverts will be replaced.

A chip seal will be applied to the new pavement in early summer 2024.
