Mankato is the latest community along highway 14 to pass a resolution urging completion of the expansion project. This after funding worries in the wake of the I-35 Bridge collapse. The expansion on highway 14 is between Waseca and Owatonna. Community leaders have been passing resolutions to make sure that expansion finishes as planned. State Representative Terry Morrow says these resolutions help get lawmakers’ attention. “I encourage people to pass a resolution, make phone calls, email. These are all very important factors that have a great amount of influence. The system really does work—resolutions are just a part of it.” State Representative Terry Morrow says he believes the project will go on as expected. The project is expected to be complete by 2011.
