Wright County approves $800,000‑range cost share with MnDOT for Buffalo–Monticello corridor and roundabout
Summary
County commissioners approved a resolution to commit the county's share—budgeted at $1 million but currently estimated at about $800,000—for MnDOT's Buffalo-to-Monticello project that includes signal improvements and a roundabout at County Roads 37 and 25.
The Wright County Board of Commissioners approved a resolution committing the county to its cost share for an MnDOT project on the Buffalo-to-Monticello corridor that includes signal work and a roundabout at County Roads 37 and 25.
Public works staff member Chad told the board the county had budgeted $1 million for its share but the current estimate is about $800,000. He said staff did not anticipate issues meeting the county's cost-share obligation.
A motion to approve the resolution was made and seconded; commissioners voted in favor. At least one commissioner called the intersection a hazardous location and said the improvement is much needed.
The board did not provide a detailed project funding breakdown at the meeting beyond the county estimate and the existing budgeted amount; staff will proceed with necessary construction coordination and consultant work as MnDOT advances the project.
