The 20-year-old Hwy. 169 Bloomington Ferry Bridge will undergo joint replacement, drainage repair and shoulder improvements between Hwy. 101 in Shakopee and Pioneer Tr. in Bloomington and Eden Prairie over a three-week period. Major traffic impacts will start on July 26 and end on Aug. 23, but are subject to change. A significant portion of the work will result in congestion as both directions will be reduced to a single lane. Also expect temporary lane or ramp closures and possible detours as work is completed within segments of roadway. All businesses and residences will remain accessible throughout the project. For more information, visit the MnDOT's Hwy. 169 Bloomington Ferry Bridge Improvement webpage or click this local government PowerPoint.
