MnDOT to host April 3 open house for Highway 371 construction in Hackensack
Bemidji,  Minn. – The  Minnesota Department of Transportation is hosting an open house on Thursday, April 3, 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at  the Hackensack Community Center, 310 Lake Ave E.,  Hackensack, to share information about  the Highway 371 Hackensack construction in 2025. 
        
Attendees  will find out more about the project schedule, traffic impacts, and alternative  routes to use during construction. Project staff will be available to provide  information about the project and answer questions. There will be no formal  presentation, and attendees are welcome to arrive anytime during the meeting.
      
Beginning  in May, this project includes constructing a roundabout at the intersection of  Highway 371 and Cass County Road 5. Project elements also include  reconstructing and paving Highway 371, sidewalk upgrades, utility improvements  and replacing a box culvert near Barthelemy Avenue. 
      
This project will include a safer road, safer intersections,  longer lasting driving surface, improved drainage and pedestrian accessibility.  It is expected to be complete mid-October, weather permitting. 
      
For those unable to attend the open house in person,  materials will be posted to the project website at mndot.gov/d2/projects/hwy371-hackensack.
