MnDOT looking for input on Highway 19
Area residents who have concerns, questions or ideas about how to improve Highway 19 the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) wants to hear from you. MnDOT will be having a virtual open house from 6-7 p.m. Wednesday, March 2.
The session is part of a Highway 19 corridor study looking at a section of the highway from Highway 3 in Northfield to Highway 13 just east of New Prague prior to repaving projects planned for 2026 and 2028. The study is being done in conjunction with two upcoming projects: proposed roundabouts at the Rice County Road 2/Highway 19 intersection in Lonsdale and at the interchange of Interstate 35/Highway 19.
Through public engagement, data collection and analysis, MnDOT hopes to identify other corridor problems that may be addressed by the road projects or considered for future investments.
