Project information
The Minnesota Department of Transportation, Becker County and the City of Detroit Lakes have partnered to make improvements to Highway 10 and Randolph Road on the east side of Detroit Lakes from Kris Street to County Road 54.
In 2019, the City of Detroit Lakes completed construction on Randolph Road, from Kris Street to County Road 54. This summer, the second portion of the project will begin and includes intersection improvements on Highway 10 at Kris Street and County Road 54/East Shore Drive.
