About this project
Hwy 59 Worthington project location in organge. I-90 Worthington project location in green. View full-size map.
MnDOT conducted a transportation study in 2017 that combined input from the City of Worthington, local residents, businesses, and other project stakeholders to arrive at roadway concepts reflective of the future transportation needs on Hwy 59 through Worthington. In 2023 additional public input influenced an updated design of the Humiston Ave. segment. Both segments of Hwy 59 (Humiston Ave. and Oxford St.) will be reconstructed in 2027 and 2028.
This work will be conducted in a similar timeframe to the nearby I-90 project, with crossovers being constructed in 2026 to allow for head-to-head traffic during construction in 2027 and 2028.
