Highway 169 Ramps To Close Thursday

Starting Thursday evening, many ramps off of Highway 169 in Hopkins and Edina will be closed until mid-July.

The closures are needed to let construction crews work on rehabilitating Nine Mile Creek, according to a press release from the Minnesota Department of Transportation. The following ramps will be closed as a part of the project:

  • Bren Road ramp to northbound Hwy 169
  • 7th Street ramp to southbound Hwy 169
  • Excelsior Boulevard ramp to southbound Hwy 169
Excelsior Boulevard-bound traffic will be detoured via Highway 7 and Shady Oak Road.

More information on the project is available on the MnDOT website.
