Highway 12 Resurfacing & Concrete Repair Project Starts July 8th
The two-year Highway 12 Litchfield-to-Cokato resurfacing and concrete repair project gets underway on Monday, July 8th. The first detour of the project also begins July 8th when Highway 12 will close from Litchfield to Dassel for approximately two weeks.
The Litchfield-to-Dassel project will include resurfacing Highway 12 from Holcombe Avenue in Litchfield to east of Meeker County Road 14 in Darwin. Sidewalks and pedestrian ramps will be upgraded to meet Americans with Disabilities Act standards in Litchfield and Darwin. A new sidewalk will be created from Davis Avenue to Hubbard Avenue in Litchfield.
A culvert will be replaced at the county ditch 1-point-5 miles east of the Highway 12 and Meeker County Road 34 intersection in Litchfield. A pedestrian push button station will be installed at Davis Avenue in Litchfield.
The concrete will be repaired, and asphalt shoulders will be replaced on Highway 12 from east of Meeker County Road 14 in Darwin through the Highway 15 intersection in Dassel. The Darwin Rest Stop will be resurfaced, and ADA improvements will be made to sidewalks. The 2025 portion of the project will include improvements from Dassel to Cokato.
The July 8th detour will last approximately two weeks for the culvert replacement work east of Litchfield. Traffic will be routed on County Roads 34, 11, and 4. You can find more details about the project at mndot.gov.
