Project History:
The work proposed under this project was
originally formally addressed in an Environmental
Impact Statement approved in 1983. Initial
phases of the work identified in the 1983
Environmental Impact Statement have been
completed. Recent funding solutions have
enabled Mn/DOT to plan completion of the work.
Project Benefits:
Completes Highway 60 as a four-lane facility from
Sioux City, IA to Mankato, MN, improves safety by
providing a divided highway with consolidated
access where possible, increase vehicle capacity,
increases regional connectivity
Project Risks:
Soil testing has not been completed yet, so a need
for substantial muck excavation could be
identified, which would increase project costs. The
salvage yard in Bingham Lake needs an
environmental review. Clear Lake construction
area needs to be analyzed
