Highway 68 construction from Marshall to Porter
Continues.
The Highway 68 resurfacing project from Marshall to Porter is
moving along quickly as crews begin to overlay the highway from
Minneota to Porter this week. Resurfacing in Porter began on May
11.
The project is expected to be complete by the end of May, nearly a
month earlier than originally planned.
During construction
and road maintenance work, MnDOT urges drivers to:
-Check
www.511mn.org or call 511 for up-to-date
information about traffic and road conditions.
-Watch for construction crews and
equipment in the work zone.
-Follow posted speed limits; fines double in work
zones.
-Plan ahead and
expect delays, especially during peak travel times.
-Stay alert; expect the unexpected.
US Postal Service Plans Will Not Close Porter Post
Office
The US Postal Service has announced plans
to keep rural Post Offices, such as the one in Porter, open
indefinitely. In response to a large public outcry and added
pressure from congress the Postal Service will seek other
cost-saving measures that will not close the Post Offices.
The losses in revenue and increased costs
of delivering mail will continue to affect the Postal Service in
the foreseeable future and citizens are urged to continue
patronizing their local Postal facilities to ensure that future
closure plans do not leave rural facilities such as Porter as
vulnerable for closure. Taking actions such as purchasing stamps
directly through the Post Office window is a good start, but
further, renting a Post Office box inside the Post Office rather
than taking street side delivery from the Canby Post Office adds
to the overall business done in the Porter facility. Read the
complete story on the Postal Service's plans.
