The Minnesota Department of Transportation invites Clearwater area residents and businesses to attend a public meeting Tuesday, Oct. 1, to learn more about design ideas to improve safety and traffic flow on Hwy. 24.

The meeting will be held 4–6 p.m. at Lions Park Pavilion, 1100 Co. Rd. 75, Clearwater. The meeting is open house-style and people may come and go at their convenience. There will be no formal presentation.

MnDOT will provide more information about the selected design for the Hwy. 24 corridor. Project staff will be available to share details and next steps. In 2026, MnDOT will start reconstruction of the Hwy. 24 interchange at I-94 between 179th Street and Ash Street, Wright County.

Visit the MnDOT Let’s Talk Transportation project web page to learn more about the project and sign up for email updates at www.talk.dot.state.mn.us/hwy-24-clearwater.

MnDOT encourages participation by all.
