Hwy 36 Safety Overhaul Begins

Traffic chaos at Hwy. 36 and Lake Elmo Avenue is finally getting a major fix—county officials are removing dangerous stoplights and building two bridges to let traffic flow smoothly over the road, slashing crashes and saving lives. With over 200 accidents and three fatalities in a decade, this $57M project includes new ramps, frontage roads, and even a pedestrian trail under the bridges—all while keeping Hwy. 36 open. Expect closures on Lake Elmo Ave access and restricted turns at Keats Ave until completion next year. Safety and speed are the goals—and drivers are getting a major upgrade.
