RED WING Three projects that have been discussed by the city and residents for years took steps toward completion during Monday s City Council meeting.
Sturgeon Lake Road overpass
The construction of a Sturgeon Lake Road overpass was first discussed by the City Council in February 2005. About 15 years later, Gov. Tim Walz signed a bonding bill that included the remaining funding needed for the project.
On Monday, the council unanimously amended the project contract between the city and Kimley-Horn. This contract was originally written in May 2011 and expired in 2016 while the city was seeking funding for the project.
