Public invited to Aug. 4 meeting to see potential improvements for Highway 25 from Monticello to Big Lake

BAXTER, Minn. – The Minnesota Department of Transportation invites the traveling public and local community to a public meeting to learn about potential improvements for Highway 25 from Monticello to Big Lake.

An open house-style meeting will be held 4-6 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 4, 2025.

Monticello City Hall: 505 Walnut St., Monticello, MN 55362

There will be no formal presentation, so guests may come and go at their leisure.

Since last fall, MnDOT has been working on a comprehensive study of the Highway 25 corridor in partnership with the cities of Monticello and Big Lake and Wright and Sherburne Counties. The study focuses on the segment of Highway 25 stretching from 85th Street NE in Monticello to Highway 10 in Big Lake, about 4.5 miles.

To learn more about the Highway 25 study – Monticello to Big Lake, visit the project website, or email project manager Tom Cruikshank, or call 320-223-6526.

MnDOT encourages participation by all as we believe everyone should have an equal opportunity to enjoy the programs, services and activities we provide. If you need an ASL, a foreign language interpreter, or other reasonable accommodation, or need documents in an alternative format (such as braille or large print), please email your request to Janet Miller at ADArequest.dot@state.mn.us  or call 651-366-4720.
