Hwy 24 — Clearwater

View full-size map

Project overview

In 2026, the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) will reconstruct the Hwy 24 bridge over I-94 between 179th Street and Ash Street in the City of Clearwater in Wright County.

Although current funding only allows us to reconstruct the Hwy 24 interchange at I-94, MnDOT will evaluate the entire one-mile stretch of Hwy 24 through Clearwater, from Wright Co. Rd. 7 to the Mississippi River bridge.

Included in the evaluation of larger project area

• Current and future safety and mobility needs
• Pedestrian and bicycle resources
• Access needs
• Long-term vision for this area of Hwy 24
• Analysis will result in a selected preliminary design

This will support future funding opportunities, allow the community to plan ongoing development, and minimize rework when the rest of the area is reconstructed in the future.

Public engagement opportunities

• Check back this winter to early spring for additional engagement opportunities and meetings.
