As part of the project, Highway 59 will be widened from Falls Cinema to the future roundabout, according to Shawn Groven with the MnDOT office in Thief River Falls. The roundabout is part of an estimated $9.1 million project to mill and overlay Highway 59 from south of Pennington County Road 2, south of Thief River Falls, to half a mile south of CR 62. At its meeting Tuesday, April 11, the Pennington County Board approved a detour agreement related to the Highway 59 project south of Thief River Falls.Īs part of the project, the Minnesota Department of Transportation will construct a roundabout near Seven Clans Casino, Hotel and Water Park in Thief River Falls. Lately, it seems like Highway 59 is synonymous with construction.
