To kick off the new TERRA Innovation Series, industry representatives, University researchers, and a variety of state and local agency personnel gathered November 1 to learn about the innovations used in the reconstruction of Minnesota Trunk Highway 36 through North St. Paul.

The daylong event, held at the North St. Paul Community Center adjacent to the Highway 36 reconstruction site, featured several local, state, and national speakers and included panels about project innovations, accelerated construction, and project communications, outreach, and market research. The program was capped with a tour of the construction area led by the Mn/DOT project engineer in charge of the reconstruction.
