A meeting for a future project to resurface a section of U.S. Highway 12 in Willmar and reconfigure it to three lanes will take place on Thursday, July 13, at the Willmar Public Library, 410 Fifth St. S.W. The public is invited to stop by at their convenience from 5 to 7:30 p.m.
The City Council meeting takes place at 6:30 p.m. at the Kandiyohi County Health and Human Services building in the board room.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation is working on finalizing plans for a U.S. Highway 12 project to run around downtown Willmar. The preliminary plans presented at the Willmar City Council meeting March 7, and supported by the council, included taking the current four-lane stretch of road and turning it into a three-lane corridor with a dedicated left turn lane. The hope is the change will reduce the number of crashes that occur.
