Hwy 52 — Hader to Zumbrota study

View full-size mapWe are conducting a PEL, or Planning and Environmental Linkages, study of the Hwy 52. The study is examining the corridor between Hader and Zumbrota. The goal is to investigate what Hwy 52 may look like in the future. This includes potential changes and an analysis of the impacts each choice may have.

Specific elements considered include:

• Safety
• Manage access
• Freight movement
• Agricultural needs
• Congestion
• Economic development
• Community needs

The input will help the project team determine community values. It will also help inform the team as they look into specific changes. This study is being done in partnership with Goodhue County.
