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. Following this work on mainline Hwy 62 in 2027, a secondary project will repair the frontage roads along Hwy 62 beginning in 2029; more details will be provided for this work in 2028.
