The two-year project that started in April of 2023 included two new bridges on Highway 23 crossing over Highway 10 with reconfigured on/off ramps, a new bridge on 4th Street SE, new sidewalks and trail connections, a new noise barrier wall along the south side of Highway 23 east of 14th Avenue SE, and updated traffic signals at several intersections.

MnDOT District 3 Engineer Mike Ginnaty says the long-term investment in the $43.7-million Highway 10 and Highway 23 project infrastructure will reduce congestion and improve traffic flow for the next 60-plus years. Work will continue through November and motorists may encounter periodic lane or shoulder closures.
