Maintenance manual
About
The MnDOT Maintenance Manual provides guidance on many aspects of highway maintenance. The intention of this manual is to provide information on the practices and guidelines established and practiced by MnDOT for maintenance operations. The manual does not contain all MnDOT policies, safety directives, and technical guidance in specific chapters for maintenance operations but does provide links to the primary guidance in specific chapters. MnDOT Technical Memorandums, Policies and Maintenance Bulletins offer added information.
