WADENA, Minn.– An open house will be held tomorrow at the Maslowski Wellness and Research Center in Wadena for residents to look at the proposed major plan to update the three highways that run through Wadena.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) is inviting residents in Wadena to a project open house on Tuesday, February 25 to learn about the upcoming construction on Highway 10, 29, and 71.

The drop-in style event will be from 4:30-7 p.m. at the Maslowski Wellness and Research Center in Wadena. It will be an open house style meet, so those wanting information can come and go as they please.

Project teams will have information boards and detour maps to view and will answer questions about local impacts and overall work from 2025-2027.

When complete in August 2027, travelers will benefit from a smoother, stronger, and expanded four-lane highway, improved safety, access and traffic flow throughout Wadena, and updated underground infrastructure and city utilities.

The three-year project on Highway 10, Highway 29, and Highway 71 in Wadena will cost an estimated $60 million.
