Summary of MnDOT work

  • MnDOT resurfaced (mill, full-depth reclamation and overlay) Hwy 15 from the intersection of Hwy 12 in Dassel to the Meeker/Stearns County line near Kimball.
  • Guardrail near the Kingston bridge was replaced to bring it into compliance.
  • Thirty (30) culverts were lined along the project area and three culverts were replaced.
  • This project required a detour (see map).
  • A chip seal and permanent striping will be applied to the new pavement in the early summer of 2024.

Project update

May 10, 2024

  • Chip and fog seal applications will take place on Hwy 15 beginning May 15
  • Seat coats applications will take about 3 days and then temporary striping is applied to the roadway
  • Work will then pause for two or more weeks until permanent striping operations can begin
  • Drivers may encounter lane closures with flaggers directing traffic through the work zones; expect brief delays and allow extra travel time
