(KNSI) – Highway 15 through Kimball is open to traffic starting Tuesday.

Highway 15 has been closed and detoured since May due to construction between Willow Creek Park and Highway 55. The Minnesota Department of Transportation says the $2.3 million project gives drivers and pedestrians a new smoother road surface, multi-use trail, safety upgrades and improved city utilities.

Crews resurfaced the road and added new curbs and gutters. The work included underground storm sewer and other utility improvements. The sidewalk was extended south of Linden Avenue to Willow Creek Park. Pedestrian approaches were installed along Highway 15 north of Highway 55 and new overhead street lighting was added.

MnDOT thanks the community of Kimball for their patience during this Highway 15 project.

Last week the Stearns County Sheriff’s Office mentioned they were conducting extra patrols in the area because drivers were going around the closed road barricade.
