Hwy 61 open house

Washington County, MnDOT and the City of Hugo are partnering on a corridor visioning study of Highway 61. A traffic, land use, and engineering analysis along with community input has helped 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. The goals of the study include items such as evaluation of intersection improvements, defining access points, and determining right-of-way needs for the corridor for a possible expansion of the roadway. The study is at one of its final stages.
