Why was concrete selected for the Saint Peter Hwy 169 project?
This is a partnership project with the City of Saint Peter and the city requested (and Mn/DOT supports) the use of concrete in the downtown area. Concrete will last much longer and will reduce the amount of maintenance and repair work that negatively impacts traffic and, subsequently, the Saint Peter downtown business community. Asphalt will be used south of Jefferson and north of Chestnut, where only a mill and overlay of existing pavement is being done.
