US Hwy 169 Corridor Coalition

US Hwy 169 Corridor Coalition The Coalition works together to enhance safety, reduce congestion, and maximize economic development along the U.S. Highway 169 interregional corridor.

In 2008, communities and counties along the US-169 corridor, from Mankato in Blue Earth County to Bloomington and Edina in Hennepin County, began a series of meetings to bring attention to corridor needs. In the spring of 2009, the U.S. Highway 169 Corridor Coalition was officially established to advocate for the corridor. From Mankato to Interstate 694, the U.S. Highway 169 (US-169) corridor play

s a key role in moving goods produced in south-central and southwestern Minnesota to regional and international markets. This major freight route accesses principal highways, rail lines and the largest intermodal inland waterway grain facility in the upper Midwest (the Ports of Savage). In the last two decades, this highway has also grown in importance as a commuter corridor. For US-169 to remain a viable, efficient conduit in the movement of goods and people, corridor congestion corridor must be successfully addressed. Increases in traffic have resulted in longer, more hazardous travel times. This, in turn, has a negative effect on the corridor’s ability to connect with other parts of the state and the region, as well as to national and international markets. Maintaining the viability and efficiency of the corridor mandates a long-term commitment to a series of improvements designed to enhance the flow of traffic—both commuter and commercial—along this increasingly congested highway system.

Another road closure this weekend for anyone accessing TH 169 to/from TH 13 in the Savage/Burnsville area:

Motorists traveling in Savage and Burnsville will encounter a full closure of Highway 13 beginning Friday, Aug. 12 while crews work on culverts and other items related to a new interchange at Dakota Avenue.

Beginning at 7 p.m., Friday, Aug. 12, Highway 13 will be closed in both directions between Quentin Avenue and Highway 101. Motorists should follow the signed detour using Highway 169, I-494 and I-35W to bypass the closure. Local access for Ports of Savage will be maintained during the project.

Highway 13 will remain in a head-to-head traffic configuration after the weekend closure is lifted at 5 a.m., Monday, Aug. 15.

The lane and road closures are part of a larger project where crews are building a new interchange, including a Highway 13 bridge over Dakota Avenue and access ramps. Once construction is complete the new interchange will help to reduce traffic backups and improve safety. Work on the entire project is expected to wrap up in fall 2023.
