Highway 12 Project Update

Crews will be paving Highway 12 in Litchfield this week as part of the Highway 12 Litchfield to Cokato resurfacing and concrete repair project, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation. Paving operations will be in place along Highway 12 from Holcombe Avenue to Meeker County Road 34.

Travelers will encounter lane closures with a flagging operation and pilot car guiding traffic through the work zone. Expect delays and allow extra travel time. The work zone extends from Litchfield to Cokato and segments of Highway 12 will close during the different phases of construction requiring three separate detours. The Phase 2 Detour is in place.

Crews are working from Litchfield to Darwin for most of the summer in 2024. Work is taking place under traffic. Use caution and be alert for workers and heavy equipment as Highway 12 is a busy work zone.
