Highway 7 and Highway 29 Resurfacing

Montevideo

Project overview

MnDOT will be resurfacing Highways 7 and 29 in Montevideo to improve pavement quality and extend the life of the roadway. In addition to resurfacing, the project includes Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) updates along the corridor and at the intersection of Highway 29 and Ashmore Avenue to enhance pedestrian access throughout the community. The project will also include the removal of the eastbound truck climbing lane on Highway 29 north of Canton Drive to reduce merging concerns and potential conflict points. Improvements will be extended along Highway 29 to Washington Avenue, further supporting safety and mobility throughout the corridor.

Traffic Impacts

Traffic will remain open during most of the construction on the corridor. Lane shifts, flagging operations, and/or pilot cars will be implemented to keep vehicles moving. More detailed traffic information will be shared as the project approaches construction.
