Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT)
MnDOT will be replacing the guardrails on the north side of the Mendota Bridge. This project is expected to extend three months and will require a closure of the pedestrian/bicycle portion of the bridge. MnDOT is also proposing to rehabilitate the pedestrian/bicycle trails along Highway 13 from Acacia Drive to the Mendota Bridge. MnDOT will also begin work on I-494 from 24th Avenue to Pilot Knob Road. An emergency closure of Highway 13 from Wachtler Avenue to Sylvandale Road was unplanned this summer. MnDOT is working on having a contractor complete repairs by November 1, 2024. 511mn.org
