About this project
A map of the Hwy 169 St. Peter - Le Sueur project
Ten miles of northbound Highway 169 between St. Peter and Le Sueur will be resurfaced and drainage will be improved to reduce erosion.
Traffic impacts
- Project is largely complete, but some finishing work needs to take place when conditions dry out and then minimal single lane closures will be needed.
Additional Hwy 169 work
- Highway 169 Corridor Map - St. Peter to Jordan construction
- A Hwy 169 improvement project between Jordan and Blakely Township is also scheduled for spring through fall of 2018
- More information on this project can be found on the metro projects page
