MNDOT holds meeting on Highway 52 from Chatfield to Fountain
Some people shared their concerns about drivers going to fast on that stretch of highway 52. Some said the curves causes accidents.
(ABC 6 News) – While the work may not begin for another 3 years, MNDOT held a public meeting in Fountain for the Highway 52 project, that will target the stretch of road that connects the city to nearby Chatfield.
Community members got the chance to share their concerns about drivers going too fast on that stretch of highway, and the curves causes accidents.
“People come too fast, they go around the curves, and you go around the curve and all of a sudden there’s an accident there and you’re supposed to stop immediately but if you’re on ice, you don’t stop immediately,” Ralph Bernau said.
Part of the project aims to repair the culverts on the highway and resurface the road, but work isn’t expected to begin until 2027.
