Transportation Updates That Impact Our Community
Join us for an important and timely Chamber Luncheon focused on major transportation projects and planning efforts that will directly affect our businesses, commuters, and residents in Monticello, Big Lake, Buffalo, and throughout Wright and Sherburne Counties.
This presentation brings together leaders from MnDOT, county engineering departments, and Bolton-Menk to provide clear updates, project timelines, and what’s coming next—including roadway improvements, interchange planning, bridge replacement, and a new multi-use trail along TH 25.
If you travel TH 25, rely on I-94, employ commuters, serve customers who drive these routes, or simply want to stay informed about infrastructure decisions shaping our region, this is a luncheon you won’t want to miss.
