McAndrews Road (County Road 38), Burnsville & Apple Valley

​Dakota County is partnering with the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) and the cities of Apple Valley and Burnsville on a traffic management project.

The project along McAndrews Road will install about nine miles of fiber optic cable and update signal equipment at the following 11 county traffic signals:

• McAndrews Road (County Road 38) and County Road 5 - complete
  
• McAndrews Road (County Road 38) and Aldrich Avenue – complete
  
• McAndrews Road (County Road 38) and Nicollet Boulevard – complete
  
• McAndrews Road (County Road 38) and Nicollet Avenue – complete
  
• McAndrews Road (County Road 38) and Portland Avenue - complete
  
• McAndrews Road (County Road 38) and County Road 11 W. Junction - complete
  
• McAndrews Road (County Road 38) and County Road 11 E. Junction/140th Street - complete
  
• McAndrews Road (County Road 38) and Garden View Drive - complete
  
• McAndrews Road (County Road 38) and Pennock Avenue - complete
  
• McAndrews Road (County Road 38) and Galaxie Avenue - complete
  
• McAndrews Road (County Road 38) and Johnny Cake Ridge Road - complete
  

Traffic signal timing along the corridor will be updated following fiber cable and equipment installations.

Managing traffic flow is critical to minimize delay and maximize the existing capacity of the highway system.  This project will address limitations with the existing signal infrastructure and timing to reduce overall delay and improve mobility. 

Expect temporary lane closures. Signal systems may be on flashing red (all-way stop) temporarily for some of the construction activities.  For the safety of both the traveling public and workers, please be patient and drive carefully.
