Highway 8 study complete and online

The Minnesota Department of Transportation and its consultants have completed a study for the segment of Highway 8 from Chisago City to Taylors Falls. The study began in August 2024 and will be useful as a reference for future projects until, and including, resurfacing the entire route in 2033. In fact, there are maps and descriptions of improvements estimated even 20 years from now, but the study text is quick to note that “Some strategies may align with MnDOT’s planned 2033 pavement project while others will need more study, coordination or funding.”
