We are making significant improvements to Hwy 280 from I-94 in St. Paul to Hwy 36/I-35W in Roseville.

In 2026 we will resurface Hwy 280 from I-94 to Hwy 36/I-35W, repair bridges, repair and resurface ramps, repair drainage and make additional improvements. Resurfacing of aging pavement on Hwy 280 will provide a smoother ride for motorists and extend the life of the existing highway.

In 2028, we will make safety and accessibility improvements for those that travel along and across Hwy 280. These improvements are still being analyzed and considered. We will also permanently close the left turn from Hwy 280 to Broadway St. N.E.
