WILLMAR, Minn.—A pavement marking project on portions of Highways 23 and 7 is now complete, the Minnesota Department of Transportation announced. 

The work, part of MnDOT’s regular maintenance cycle, included the installation of centerline rumble strips and in-ground wet reflective striping to enhance nighttime and wet-weather visibility. The four-lane section of Highway 23 south of Marshall also received shoulder rumble strips. 

Updated segments include: 

  • Highway 23 from north of Marshall to south of Cottonwood 
  • Highway 23 from Russell to Marshall 
  • Highway 7 from Montevideo to Clara City 

The improvements are designed to increase safety by helping drivers maintain lane position. The $2.48 million project was completed by Surface Preparation Technologies, LLC.
