For the 2024 construction season, Kandiyohi County is planning on more than $20 million in road and bridge projects. However, reconstruction work will be limited to just five miles of road due to increasing construction prices.
Kandiyohi County was successful in obtaining $4.8 million in federal funding to help fund the completion of the County State Aid Highway 55 Highway-Rail Grade Separation project south of Willmar.
The funds come from the Railroad Crossing Elimination Grant Program and will help fund the project at Minnesota Highway 23 and CSAH 55, south of Willmar.
Kandiyohi County Public Works is planning for two trail projects this year. The first is construction of .8 miles of paved trail along County Road 24 on the north side of Willmar Lake. The second is 4 miles of overlay on the Green Lake trail in Spicer.
