As we approach the start of the HWY 60 project, we wanted to provide you with an update on how this may impact our school operations for the remainder of this school year and into the next.
After meeting with the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT), we learned that the planned closure of HWY 60 is expected to begin on April 15, lasting until mid-October. This timeline is weather-dependent, so the dates may adjust accordingly.
From our discussions, we anticipate minimal disruption to most bus routes, with expected delays of around 10-15 minutes. However, we do expect the biggest impact to be on the town bus/Crystal Creek area. To access Crystal Creek, we will need to approach from the north via CSAH 112. The routes through CSAH 6, CSAH 20, and CR 112 will remain open to allow access to both the north and south sides of HWY 60.
For your reference, we've attached the official MnDOT project detour page. Additionally, MnDOT will be hosting an open house to provide more information on the project and answer any questions you may have:
MnDOT Open House
Date: Tuesday, April 1, 2025
Time: 4:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Location: Lake Crystal City Hall, 100 East Robinson Street
We encourage everyone to attend the open house if you have any questions or concerns regarding the project.
Thank you for your understanding and flexibility as we navigate these changes. We will continue to keep you updated as the project progresses.
