The Minnesota Department of Transportation has received special funding to build a quadrant interchange at the intersection of Highway 23 and Highway 9 in New London. MnDOT District 8 was awarded $33 million, which includes funding for the interchange, the realignment of Kandiyohi County Road 40, the design process, right of way acquisition, and construction contract administration.

Corridors of Commerce funds are defined and made available by the Minnesota Legislature and are not part of MnDOT’s regular State Road Construction program. “Funding is awarded through a highly competitive application and scoring process,” said MnDOT District Engineer Jon Huseby, “and District 8 is excited and appreciative to receive this special funding which will make it possible to build an interchange in New London.”

Some of the next steps will be the design phase and right of way acquisition period which typically takes four to five-plus years. Construction is tentatively scheduled to begin in 2028 and is expected to last two years.
