MnDOT Westbound Highway 62 Third Lane and Noise Wall

In August, MnDOT informed the City that they would like to make the westbound third lane from Valley View Road to Highway 100 along Highway 62 permanent. This would require constructing an additional travel lane and shoulder to highway standards. This work would require the construction of a 20-ft tall noise wall. MnDOT is currently developing preliminary layouts. The project does not have funding yet. If funding is identified, construction is anticipated for 2027 – 2028.
