About this project
Summary of work
A six-legged roundabout is scheduled to be constructed in 2024 at the northbound I-35 ramps and Hwy 19 interchange. It also encompasses the intersections of Rice Co. Rd. 46 and Co. Rd. 59. Construction is scheduled to begin this spring and it is anticipated to be completed in the fall.
This is a local partnership project between Rice County and MnDOT. Rice County is taking the lead and you can find more details on their website.
