MnDOT Removing Warning System

Minnesota Department of Transportation crews are removing an electronic intersection warning system at Highway 56 and Goodhue County Road 9 to improve clarity for motorists approaching the crossroads.

MnDOT crews will be removing the system today and tomorrow. 

The system, called a Rural Intersection Conflict Warning System, has not achieved the effectiveness MnDOT was seeking in safety improvements.

MnDOT is hopeful the removal of these signs, which flash when a vehicle is approaching, will aid motorists in focusing more on the other existing warnings at the intersection.

This intersection in western Goodhue County saw an increase in crashes in 2025 compared to past years.

Motorists on the east-west Goodhue County Road 9 are required to stop and wait for traffic traveling on north-south Highway 56.
