MnDOT to host October 14 open house for Hwy 200 in Laporte

BEMIDJI, Minn. —The public is invited to attend an open house on Oct. 14 at the Lakeport Town Hall to learn about the Hwy 200 Laporte construction project, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation.

MnDOT will host the event from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 14, at Lakeport Town Hall, 155 County 39 NW, Laporte. There is no formal presentation, so the public may come and go at their convenience. The project team will be available to answer questions and hear feedback.

MnDOT plans to resurface and reconstruct Hwy 200 from Hubbard CR 39 in Laporte to Hwy 371 in 2027. The project also includes sidewalk, curb and gutter, and storm sewer installation in Laporte. Various centerline culverts will be replaced throughout the project limits. The project also includes turn lanes and shoulder widening in portions of the rural segments.
