AUSTIN — Next year, several bridge replacement and repair projects will begin along the I-90 corridor in Austin. Tomorrow, area residents can learn more about the construction projects during a public information meeting.
On Tuesday, Jan. 31 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m., the Minnesota Department of Transportation will hold its drop-in public information meeting at the Austin Public Library. Because of the drop-in format, attendees can arrive and leave at any time during the two-hour period.
