Project Description

Hewitt Reconstruct and ADA Improvements

Brief Description: MnDOT requests letters of interest for final design plans for the urban reconstruction of Trunk Highway (TH) 210 through the City of Hewitt, MN as State Project (SP) 7701-45. The project limits extend from RP 76 +00.600 to 78 + 00.100 (Bridge #77013 E. approach to 630’ E of Wisconsin St.) along TH 210 in Hewitt. SP 7701-45 letting of September 26, 2029. SP 7709-18 roundabout has been designed to the 95% final plans and will shelve until the projects can be tied for the September 26, 2029 letting date (tied; separate plans). The goal of this project is to develop complete, coordinated final construction plans, specifications, and estimates for the corridor reconstruction project that fully integrate with the already designed Hewitt roundabout project. The outcome will be a unified, constructible design package that supports a combined 2029 letting, maintains corridor continuity, and meets MnDOT standards for safety, operations, and project delivery.
