Mantorville Hard Hat Crew Main Street Revitalization: Frequently Asked Questions

What is going on?

The MN Department of Transportation will begin road construction this spring on Highway 57. This includes construction on Mantorville’s Main Street. Construction is projected to start in mid-April and completed at the end of summer in 2024.

Will roads be closed?

Traffic that does not patron or reside in Mantorville will be routed by detour from HWY 57 to CR12 where they will take CR 9 and CR 16 back to the HWY. Local residents, patrons and visitors to our community will still have access and be provided direct routing to their destinations. This will include some through ways to get across Main Street.

Can I still get to my local businesses?

Absolutely! You will see Way-Finder signage throughout the community and have access to maps that will help guide you quickly and easily to where you want to go!

Where should I park?

Local parking spots will be clearly marked during construction. These will also be included on various maps available to community members and visitors.

Where can I find information, including maps during construction?

Resource materials, construction updates, and direct routing maps can be found on our new Mantorville Hard Hat Crew resource page provided by the City of Mantorville.

What should I expect to see or hear during construction?

You might notice an increase in dust during construction. This will not be harmful and will be cleaned up as quickly and as much as possible by the construction crew. There will be new noises during the construction period from trucks and construction equipment. Residents, tenants, businesses, and local patrons may run into this at various hours of the day. With the projected completion plan set for end of summer, the crews may be working long summer hours to meet this deadline.

Are there any safety concerns I should be considering during construction?

There will be a need to take additional precautions during the construction period for your safety and for the safety of others. Keep a close eye out for road blocks or changes to the roadways and of course your usual route, as these may change. Be extra cautious when crossing areas that are on the new routes, and never cross areas that are fenced, marked or taped off! The road construction crew will due their due diligence in making certain signage and roadway construction instructions is always clearly marked and available. As always, remember our road construction workers have families and people who care about them. Follow all precautions in keeping them safe and be vigilant as they will be working very closely to the areas you are passing through.

Will the community still be hosting all of our usual summer events during the summer construction?

Yes. In fact, we will be doing additional promotions and partnerships across the community to support these efforts. Make sure you stay up to date by accessing www.mantorville.com where you will find our community calendar and schedule of events!
