Services
The MnDOT team in District 2 plans, designs, constructs, and maintains the state and federal trunk highways within the district. We also manage the aid and assistance provided to local governments that qualify for state and federal transportation funding for roadways, bridges, trails, and transit systems. District 2’s construction program's top priorities are to preserve the existing system and to make cost-effective safety improvements. Our construction program emphasizes pavement and bridge repair and replacement, and low-cost safety improvements.
Manufacturer's Perspective study
The Manufacturer's Perspective study seeks to better understand freight customers’ transportation priorities and challenges, and to incorporate their feedback into MnDOT’s planning and project development. A better understanding of these customers’ businesses and transportation needs is helping MnDOT to better align its work to support their success and, by extension, the economic vitality of the region and state. The project identified concerns and suggested improvements in the areas of infrastructure, maintenance, communications and policy.
Toward Zero Deaths
We are partners in the Northwest Minnesota Towards Zero Deaths partnership whose goal is creating a collaborative, comprehensive, and regional approach to eliminate serious injuries and deaths due to traffic crashes. The regional TZD emphasis areas are: reducing impaired driving, reducing excessive speeds, increasing seatbelt usage, and increasing awareness of distracted driving.
