Overview 

Washington County, MnDOT, and the City of Hugo are partnering on a corridor visioning study of Highway 61 through the City of Hugo. A traffic, land use, and engineering analysis along with community input will help identify the long-range vision for the corridor that will be used to define future improvements and guide a potential jurisdictional transfer of the roadway from MnDOT to Washington County.
