Public meetings are planned for road improvement projects for Minnesota Highway 280 from Interstate 94 in St. Paul to Minnesota Highway 36/Interstate 35W in Roseville.
The work — which will involve a closure of that section of the highway later this year — is scheduled to begin in April of 2026.
State Department of Transportation officials will host an in-person meeting from 5 to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 21 at the CASE building atrium, located at 767 Eustis St. N, St. Paul. Those attending will learn about the project and can ask questions. No formal presentation is planned and those interested can stop by at any time.
Also, a virtual meeting is planned from 6 to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 3. This meeting will include a presentation and those attending can ask questions. A link to register for the virtual meeting is available on the MnDOT project website.
Starting in April through fall of 2026, MnDOT will resurface that section of the highway as well as repair bridges, ramps, drainage and make additional improvements to make for a smoother, safer ride, according to MnDOT officials.
