FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

Re: The City of Mantorville will maintain Business access though out construction


The City of Mantorville is proud to announce the investment in our future with safety improvements, parking opportunities and general improvement of traffic flow. The City is working with the Minnesota Department of Transportation on a full reconstruct of Highway 57 which will serve the citizens of mantorville for decades to come.

The current Highway 57 construction project which will improve traffic flow and safety within the City of Mantorville will facilitate business access though out the construction process. We have been assured that the bridge will only be closed to local traffic for just a few days though out the construction and that our business community will be able to remain open. Further there is no expected impact to school bussing for the remainder of the school year.

The City of Mantorville is going forward with our plans for Stage Coach Days (formerly “Old Tyme Days”) as well as our annual Marigold Days celebration.

The public is invited out to watch our progress, share in our festivals and celebrations and encouraged to come see the end result during Marigold days. We look forward to seeing you this summer.
