MANKATO, Minn. – The Minnesota Department of Transporation invites the public to attend an open house on Aug. 12 to discuss future improvements to Highway 14 in the Eagle Lake area.

The open house will be held in-person from 4 to 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 12, at the Eagle Lake City Hall (705 Parkway Ave, Eagle Lake).
There will be no formal presentation, and attendees will be able to ask questions and talk with the Study team. Those unable to attend the open house can review project information at mndot.gov/d7/projects/hwy14eaglelakestudy. Following the open house, there is an Eagle Lake City Council meeting at 6 p.m. and will include a public hearing for community members to share their input about the proposed recommendation for Highway 14.
The Mankato/North Mankato Area Planning Organization (MAPO), MnDOT, and the local communities are studying the Highway 14 corridor between Blue Earth Co. Rd. 12 and Highway 60. Over the past year, the study team evaluated existing conditions and issues throughout the corridor and now have a final concept to share with the community.
