Minnesota DOT Announces 2024 State Construction Projects

ST. PAUL, MN — Road projects are beginning to ramp up across Minnesota. The Minnesota Department of Transportation has nearly 200 road construction projects this season that will help maintain and improve Minnesota's roads, bridges, and transportation infrastructure; improve safety and mobility; and support jobs that will be worked on statewide.

The 2024 construction season includes 193 planned road and bridge projects, plus 54 projects that will improve airports, water ports, railroad crossings, and transit infrastructure.

Significant 2024 Projects
  • Replacing and repairing bridges on Interstate 494 between Edina and Richfield continues for the second year of a four-year project that also includes reconfiguring the I-35W/I-494 interchange, building a pedestrian bridge, adding E-ZPass lanes, and constructing noise walls. Other major projects in the Twin Cities Metro area include pavement improvements on I-94 between Oakdale and Lakeland and Highway 36 between Roseville and Little Canada, and the start of a three-year project to repair the Stone Arch Bridge in Minneapolis.
  • Bridge work is being completed on I-35 between the Twin Cities and Duluth, pavement is being resurfaced near Hinckley, and the Atkinson bridge over Carlton County Road 61 will be repaired. Roadwork will also continue on I-35 in Duluth.
  • Completing the I-35 Faribault project will include ramp, bridge, and pavement improvements.
