We are in the final steps of official MnDOT approval of the project. The project will go out for bids in late February or March. Alternate bids will be collected. Cladding is one of the alternate bids. Construction is planned for 2026 with or without the cladding based on discussions with the Council related to bids and budgets. Tree clearing along the north side of Highway 62 will occur before the end of March.
