Yesterday Governor Walz declared today as the first ever “Emergency Manager” Appreciation Day in MN. Here in Freeborn County we are lucky to have Rich Hall as our Emergency Management Director. He has worked for Freeborn County for 10 years now and has been essential in helping us to navigate through countless incidents from train derailments to tornadoes to winter storms. Rich has helped develop our emergency preparedness plans and has been instrumental in getting our local schools prepared for emergencies. Rich is also a leader and involved in Emergency Management at both the regional and state levels.

For immediate Release: June 8, 2022

Freeborn County and the City of Albert Lea want to make residents aware of paving operations scheduled by Ulland Brothers on Bridge Avenue from Marshal Street to Hammer Road. The work is scheduled to begin on Friday morning, June 10. There will be intermittent disruptions to normal traffic flow including blocked side streets, lane closures, and flaggers to control traffic. The County and City request that residents who need to travel through the construction zone use caution, obey construction signage, and slow down. Please plan alternate routes if possible. The work is expected to progress into the evening hours with the hope that only minor work will remain for Saturday. The schedule is weather dependent. Traffic striping will be installed early next week and may also involve disruptions to traffic.

Questions about the project can be directed to Phil Wacholz, Freeborn County Highway Engineer, at 507-377-5188.
