After years of discussion, action on Highway 25 between Monticello and Buffalo is finally around the bend.
The State Highway, which links two of Wright County’s busiest communities and is essential for both commerce and commuters, will get roundabouts, additional turn lanes and a new surface when work begins next year.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation will be conducting an open house-style review of the 2026 project between Monticello and Buffalo from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday Oct. 9 on the first floor of the Wright County Government Center (3650 Braddock Ave SE, Buffalo).
