Highway 62

About this project

The purpose of this project is to reconstruct Hwy 62 between 28th Ave. South and 46th Ave. South in Minneapolis, as the existing pavement has reached the end of its service life. We will also resurface the Hwy 62 bridge over 28th Ave. South to extend the service life of the structure. This work is necessary to maintain the highway system.

Traffic impacts

All traffic impacts are tentative and weather dependent. Access to businesses and residences will be maintained throughout the project.

Upcoming

Information about upcoming traffic impacts will be provided as details become available. Motorists can expect lane and directional closures on Hwy 62 during construction. The majority of construction on Hwy 62 will occur in 2027 and construction on the frontage road will occur in 2028 to minimize impact.
