Description

Come visit with the 169 Redefine Project Team and learn about 2023 construction plans and local impacts through Elk River.

The event is drop-in style to better fit individual schedules. Guests may arrive at any time to learn, ask questions and then leave at their convenience.

In 2023, crews will construct two new interchanges on Hwy 169 at School St. and 193^rd Ave.  Construction includes freeway lanes, adjacent City road and sidewalk connections,  utilities and underground infrastructure.

Overall, Hwy 169 will be reduced to one-lane in both directions between Main St. and 197^th Ave. In mid-April, access will close to/from Hwy 169 at School St. and 193^rd Ave. Temporary access will be available, however expect changes.

Three-year project
In 2022, crews improved access at the Hwy 10/101/169 interchange, reconstructed the northbound Hwy 101/169 bridge over Hwy 10 and constructed a new interchange at Hwy 169 and 197^th Ave. In 2024, a new interchange will be constructed at Hwy 169 and Main St. Visit the 169 Redefine project web page for more details and sign-up for project construction updates: https://mndot.gov/d3/elkriverfreeway/
