MnDOT still seeking comments on Chatfield bridge

CHATFIELD – The Minnesota Department of Transportation is still seeking comments through Tuesday from the public on a proposed bridge replacement project at Mill Creek on Minnesota Highway 30 at Chatfield.

The comments, which relate to the preliminary findings concerning the environmental effect of the project, can be submitted to MnDOT through the project website.

The Federal Highway Administration has indicated a preliminary finding that the proposed bridge replacement project on Highway 30 in 2023 would have minimal impact on the environment at Mill Creek. However, it will consider public comments prior to its final determination on environmental impact.

Information about the project and the documentation from the FHWA can be found at the MnDOT project website at www.dot.state.mn.us/d6/projects/hwy30-chatfield/index.html .
