The intersection of Highway 15 and Fort Road in Klossner will undergo construction this summer that includes a roundabout.

MANKATO – Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) Construction of a roundabout at the intersection of Highway 15 and Fort Road in Klossner is expected to begin May 18, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation.

Preliminary tree clearing is expected to begin in early May. The intersection of Highway 15 and Fort Road in Klossner will be closed starting May 18 for construction, with traffic detoured to Nicollet County Roads 15, 12 and 21.

The project includes constructing a single-lane roundabout at Highway 15 and Nicollet County Road 5 (Fort Road) in Klossner to improve safety at this intersection, install lighting, and improve drainage.

MnDOT expects the roundabout in Klossner to be completed in late July, weather permitting. Schedules are subject to change depending upon weather and other unforeseeable circumstances. 

MnDOT will also construct a single-lane roundabout at Highway 111 and Nicollet County Road 5 (Fort Road), north of Nicollet later this summer. Work there will begin after the Klossner roundabout is finished.
