Reminder: MnDOT hosts Highway 65 Blaine Interchanges info meetings

ROSEVILLE, Minn. – With construction slated to begin in early June on Highway 65 in Blaine, the Minnesota Department of Transportation invites you to join us to learn more about the four-and-a-half year project between 97th Avenue and 121st Avenue.

If you live, work, commute or play in this area, please join us for an informative presentation:

  • Wednesday, May 20 and Thursday, May 21
    3 p.m. - 7 p.m. with presentations at 3:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. (both days)
    Cloverleaf Conference Room
    Blaine City Hall 10801 Town Square Dr NE, Blaine, Minn.

Learn about anticipated construction impacts and schedule, as well as what to expect in 2026. The project team will be available to answer questions before and after each presentation.

The project will convert the existing at-grade intersections at 99th Ave., 105th Ave., 109th Ave. and 117th Ave./Cloud Dr. into interchanges, with Hwy 65 traveling above. Work also includes a pedestrian bridge across the new freeway between 113th and 114th Avenues, rerouting existing local street/driveway connections using frontage/backage roads between 97th Ave. and 125th Ave. along with reconstructing existing sidewalk along the road to meet Americans with Disability Act (ADA) standards.

If you’d like to stay up-to-date on this work, upcoming traffic impacts and sign up for email updates, visit the Hwy 65 in Blaine project webpage. If you have questions, please contact the project team. For updated road condition information, call 511 or visit 511mn.org.
