Hwy 12—Cokato

2020 Roadwork

Current impacts

Highway 12 is an active work zone between Sunset Ave NW and 7th St SE in Cokato through October. Overall traffic will shift within the work zone to resurface segments of road at time. Expect multiple crews working, includes sidewalks along Hwy 12 in Cokato, and near the Dassel-Cokato High School.

• Motorists: Narrow lanes (11 ft.), lane shifts, flaggers and use of pilot car
• Pedestrians: Sidewalk closures, temporary signed detours

Cokato open

Local access will be maintained to businesses, visitors and residents, however expect changes and gravel surfaces. Follow signs.

Detour in August

Hwy 12/Co. Rd. 3 intersection will need to close temporarily to work underground.
