More about this project
Repairs and resurfacing is underway on nearly six miles of Highway 36 between I-35W in Roseville and Edgerton St. in Little Canada along with additional improvements. Resurfacing of aging pavement will provide a smoother ride for motorists and extend the life of the existing roadway.
A new auxiliary lane from southbound I-35W to eastbound Highway 36 will provide more distance for drivers to safely merge onto eastbound Highway 36 which will ease traffic flow and reduce congestion. Reconstruction of the ramp from northbound Cleveland Ave. to eastbound Highway 36 and extending the merge lane onto eastbound Highway 36 will provide more time for drivers to safely merge into traffic. Improved drainage will also help channel water to prevent pavement damage from flooding and weather events. The project is anticipated to be complete in late September.
