How to Check Redwood County Road Closures, Projects and Highway Permits

Heading out on county roads or planning work along a roadway? The Redwood County Highway Department webpage brings together several resources for drivers, farmers, contractors, and property owners.

Check road and bridge closures: Choose the 'Road Closures' section for posted closures related to construction, bridge work, flooding, or road conditions. Read the update date and location descriptions carefully. The county cautions that closure schedules may change; state highway conditions are available through its link to Minnesota 511.

See planned construction: The 'Construction Projects' section lists county road and bridge work, while the 'Information' section includes a construction project map and a five-year road and bridge plan. These are useful starting points for understanding where improvements are planned.

Apply for permits: The 'Permits' section links to online applications and downloadable forms for matters such as moving oversized loads or creating or changing road entrances. The county says permits require approval and asks applicants to allow at least 72 hours for processing.

Find seasonal information: The page also provides road restrictions, gravel-road dust-control information, and snow and ice guidance. For questions, the Highway Department lists 507-637-4056.
