MnDOT announced the 2015 construction program at a news conference held at Central Office. District offices and their local media participated via Livestream.
This year’s $1 billion program includes 290 construction projects around the state that will help preserve and maintain state highways, bridges and other transportation infrastructure to ensure the safety and mobility of the travelling public.
The 2015 construction program includes work on 66 projects in the Twin Cities and 165 projects in Greater Minnesota. An additional 59 projects statewide will improve safety at railroad crossings, repair seawalls and docks, make improvements on runways and terminals at regional airports, and improve transit centers.
