Brown County Road 13 from Hanska to New Ulm has been closed and barricaded since June 2021. However, apparently there’s been more activity on that road than there should be these days.

As a result, the Brown County Highway Department and the Brown County Sheriff’s Office want to remind motorists that Brown County Road 13 from Hanska to New Ulm is still closed.

There are “ROAD CLOSED” barricades set up to notify drivers of this road closure. When a road is closed it is illegal to travel in that area. Motorists can be fined up to $1,000 and/or 90 days in jail. In addition, if travelers need to be rescued from a closed road, other expenses and penalties will apply.
