Highway 212 resurfacing project in Olivia begins July 8

WILLMAR, Minn. – A project to resurface two miles of Highway 212 in Olivia begins July 8, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation. The road will be resurfaced with asphalt from Highway 212’s north junction with Highway 71 to the south junction with Highway 71.

Work is expected to be completed in early August, depending on weather and other unforeseeable circumstances.

Resurfacing will take place under traffic with lane shifts, a flagging operation and pilot car. Drivers can expect brief delays and should allow extra travel time.
Frontage roads along the project route will be open and accessible.

Project benefits and cost
Benefits of the project include a smoother road surface. Duininck, Inc., is the contractor, and the project cost is approximately $1.2 million.
