All traffic impacts are tentative and weather dependent. Access to all businesses will be maintained during construction. Construction activities on Hwy 36 between I-35W in Roseville and Edgerton St. in Little Canada are suspended for the winter. Sign replacement, cable median barrier installation and construction on the storm water drainage pond in the southeast corner of Hwy 36 and Cleveland Ave. will resume in spring 2025.

About this project

In 2024, we will resurface Hwy 36 from I-35W in Roseville to Edgerton St. in Little Canada and make additional improvements. Resurfacing of aging pavement on Hwy 36 will provide a smoother ride for motorists and extend the life of the existing roadway. A new auxiliary lane from SB I-35W to EB Hwy 36 will provide more distance for drivers to safely merge onto EB Hwy 36 which will ease traffic flow and reduce congestion. Reconstruction of the ramp from NB Cleveland Ave. to EB Hwy 36 and extending the merge lane onto EB Hwy 36 will provide more time for drivers to safely merge into traffic. Improved drainage will also help channel water to prevent pavement damage from flooding and weather events.
