Mahtomedi engineer: Hwy 244 90% complete, right‑of‑way talks starting; Hwy 120 at 60%
Summary
City Engineer Nick Guilliams told the council Hwy 244 plans are about 90% complete with right‑of‑way acquisition meetings underway and bids expected late 2026 or early 2027; Hwy 120 plans are about 60% complete with county work possibly starting in 2027 and an upcoming March 12 planning meeting.
City Engineer Nick Guilliams updated the Mahtomedi City Council on March 3, saying plans for the Hwy 244 road turnback project are roughly 90% complete and right‑of‑way acquisition meetings have begun. Guilliams said WSB will hold one‑on‑one meetings with affected residents to discuss concerns and that the project remains on schedule to be advertised for bids in late 2026 or early 2027.
Guilliams also reported that Hwy 120 project plans are approximately 60% complete. He said the county proposed starting some work in 2027 at the TH 120/Long Lake Road intersection and emphasized that the intersection must remain open to traffic during any staging. Guilliams said the next planning meeting on Hwy 120 is March 12.
The engineering update reiterated typical right‑of‑way and utility coordination steps: second meetings with small utility companies regarding equipment relocation and individual outreach to residents. No final construction contract was awarded at the meeting; staff described the timeline and outreach steps that will precede bidding.
The council did not take additional votes on the projects at the March 3 meeting; staff described the current design and outreach timetable.
