About this project
Hwy 47 project location map.
We are working to make University Ave. N.E. (Hwy 47) from Central Ave. S.E. (Hwy 65) to 27th Ave. N.E. in Minneapolis safer and easier to use. We want to make sure everyone can use University Ave. safely and comfortably, whether they walk, roll, ride a bike, use public transit, or drive a car or truck.
We are asking for community feedback about proposed changes developed based on recent studies, including the Hwy 47/65 Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL) study. This input is needed to understand what improvements should be made to University Ave. N.E.
The goal for this phase of the project is to create one proposed design layout for University Ave. N.E. Once developed, MnDOT and local partners will seek funding to make road improvements. This project is currently planned for 2027.
