Roundabouts south of Montgomery and at Lonsdale in 2026
Montgomery Streets
Most of the streets in the area between the railroad tracks and Le Sueur County 3/5th Street, and north of Le Sueur County 56/Oak Avenue and south of Boulevard Avenue will receive partial surface milling and a full overlay of pavement this summer.
This project will not interfere and will not be actively working during Kolacky Days but construction could coincide around that time. More details on this will be available later. This project is to buy time to rethink the city’s Street and Utilities Improvement Projects plan and improve the surface of roads in the meantime, according to city council.
