Project timeline

September–November 2025, turf establishment completed by June 2026

Drivers should expect temporary lane closures, flaggers, and delays throughout the projects. Please allow extra time for travel. Watch for construction signage and be cautious while driving through the construction areas. For the safety of both the residents and the workers, please be patient. 

Property owners

Trail construction could impact sprinkler systems, fencing or landscaping within the road right of way. State law and County Ordinance 126 Right of Way Management regulates what can go within the county highway right of way by permit.

Dakota County is not responsible for the removal or replacement of privately owned items in the right of way. Please have them removed or disconnected before the start of the project. For help determining right of way, please contact Jeannine Briol at 952-891-7926 or Dakota County Transportation at 952-891-7900 before Sept. 19. Include your name, address of the affected property and telephone number.

 For any questions or comments about the projects, email Dakota County Tran​sportation Department or phone 952-891-7900.
