Minnesota Senate Majority Leader Jeremy Miller (R-Winona) today called on the state’s Department of Transportation (MnDOT) to look for solutions to improve severe traffic delays caused by the construction of a series of roundabouts along Highway 43/61/Mankato Avenue in Winona:

“I’m hearing many concerns from folks around town regarding the severe traffic delays and lack of signage surrounding the roundabout construction project. People have mentioned traffic delays and late school buses of an hour or more. Some delays are to be expected with any road construction project, but delays of this length are simply unacceptable. I have contacted representatives from MnDOT asking them to look for potential solutions to reduce these immense traffic delays as soon as possible. I am hopeful they can work to improve the traffic delays and signage around the construction areas.”
