Highway 238 in Morrison County open to all travelers

BAXTER, Minn. – The Minnesota Department of Transportation is excited to announce that Highway 238 in Morrison County is open to all travelers.

This marks the completion of the two-month, $6.3 million roadwork project to resurface and update Highway 238 from Morrison County Road 19 in Upsala to Highway 27 west of Little Falls.

Project benefits and completed work include:

Smoother and stronger road surface—paved 19 miles of asphalt road surface
Updated drainage—replaced 14 underground drainage structures
Improved motorist and pedestrian safety—realigned and added a turn lane at County Road 228 in north Upsala; updated safety guardrail; installed new rumble strips and permanent road markings; and updated the pedestrian crossing in Elmdale

MnDOT thanks the community and traveling public for their continued patience throughout construction and the detours.
