Paul International Airport.ĭue to its size and funding restrictions, the overall vision is broken into four separate construction projects to span several years. The I-494: Airport to Highway 169 project vision is a long-term plan to address current and future transportation issues along a 9.5-mile segment of the I-494 corridor, from Highway 169 to the Minneapolis St. When complete, it will connect Bloomington and Longfellow Avenues, and address regional traffic issues on the I-494 corridor through Richfield and Bloomington.įor more information, see the 77th Street Underpass webpage.Ĭonstruction timeline: Phase 1 estimated Summer 2023 through Fall 2026 Construction began in 2021, and will continue through the spring of 2023. The 77th Street underpass will connect 77th Street east and west of Trunk Highway 77/Cedar Avenue to eliminate a gap in the minor reliever network. Information on construction of current and future METRO system projects can be found on Commuter Services’ Transit page.Ĭonstruction timeline: Summer 2021 through Spring 2023 We also work with Metro Transit, and the cities of Bloomington, Eden Prairie, Edina, Minnetonka and Richfield, so we can keep commuters informed about other projects they may encounter during the construction months. Starting in the spring and reaching far into the fall, construction projects provide updates and safety improvements to the condition of the roadways commuters travel every day.Ĭommuter Services works closely with the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) to track progress on major road construction projects that affect the commute. In Minnesota, road construction is, to many, its own season.
