Andrew Lutoya of the Minnesota D.O.T.

Our Program on April 25^th was a presentation by Andrew Lutoya who is a representative of Minnesota Highway Department.  His area of responsibility includes most of the Twin Cities area.

He provided us with two maps of the greater Twin Cities showing road projects in the area in 2017 and those projected for 2018. Because of the Super Bowl next year, they intend to have most of the metropolitan area projects done for the event (can you believe a whole week without orange cones and detour signs!!). European roads have a thicker layer of asphalt than roads in the US which explains why their roads are smoother and have less potholes and bumps. Why our roads aren’t built stronger he did not explain.
