MnDOT invites public to learn about the I-90 Austin bridges project

(ABC 6 News) – The public is invited to attend an in-person information meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 31 to learn more about a construction project to replace and improve Interstate 90 bridges and interchanges in Austin.

The meeting will be held from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 31 at the Austin Public Library, 323 4th Ave. NE, Austin, MN 55912.
