MnDOT to host April 3 open house for Highway 371 construction in Hackensack

Bemidji, Minn. – The Minnesota Department of Transportation is hosting an open house on Thursday, April 3, 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at the Hackensack Community Center, 310 Lake Ave E., Hackensack, to share information about the Highway 371 Hackensack construction in 2025.

Attendees will find out more about the project schedule, traffic impacts, and alternative routes to use during construction. Project staff will be available to provide information about the project and answer questions. There will be no formal presentation, and attendees are welcome to arrive anytime during the meeting.

Beginning in May, this project includes constructing a roundabout at the intersection of Highway 371 and Cass County Road 5. Project elements also include reconstructing and paving Highway 371, sidewalk upgrades, utility improvements and replacing a box culvert near Barthelemy Avenue.

This project will include a safer road, safer intersections, longer lasting driving surface, improved drainage and pedestrian accessibility. It is expected to be complete mid-October, weather permitting.

For those unable to attend the open house in person, materials will be posted to the project website at mndot.gov/d2/projects/hwy371-hackensack.
