R25E Le Sueur Improvements
R25E Le Sueur | Roadway Lighting and Pedestrian Safety Improvements
Project Overview: Roadway and Pedestrian Safety Improvements on R25E in Le Sueur, MN
The R25E Le Sueur project focused on roadway and pedestrian safety improvements through the installation of new lighting and pedestrian crossing infrastructure. Hunt Electric delivered a comprehensive field installation package supporting improved visibility, safer crossings, and long term durability within the corridor.
The project also leveraged Hunt Electric’s in house roadwork capabilities, allowing specialized work to be completed efficiently while minimizing environmental and site disruption.
Delivering Infrastructure Improvements with In House Capabilities
A key differentiator on this project was Hunt Electric’s ability to perform directional drilling in house. While directional drilling is often subcontracted, Hunt Electric’s Mankato roadwork team brought this capability directly to the project, allowing tighter control over quality, schedule, and coordination.
Directional drilling was selected as a strategic approach to preserve existing trees and landscaping while reducing surface disruption. Skilled operators executed the work efficiently, supporting both environmental goals and project timelines.
Scope of Work
Hunt Electric completed a full scope of electrical and site infrastructure work, including:
- Conduit installation
- Wire installation
- Concrete light foundations
- Electric service cabinet installation
- Light pole installation
- Pedestrian crosswalk flasher systems
Key Features
Directional Drilling for Environmental Preservation
The use of directional drilling allowed the project team to minimize surface impact and protect established landscaping.
Key benefits included:
- In house directional drilling capabilities
- Preservation of existing trees and green space
- Reduced surface restoration requirements
- Efficient conduit installation beneath developed areas
Expanded Utility Coordination
Additional coordination was required when two internet providers requested conduit installation within the project scope.
Key challenges and solutions included:
- Installation of up to six additional conduits ranging from 1.25 to 1.5 inches
- Advanced planning to accommodate added scope
- Coordination with existing utilities in a congested corridor
- Successful integration without delaying project progress
