Portion of Highview Avenue to Close on Monday

In a summer filled with construction detours, Lakeville drivers will experience another road closure starting Monday.

Beginning on Aug. 5, Highview Avenue between Hollybrook Trail and 175th Street will clos, says the Dakota County Current Road Construction website. Traffic on Hollybrook will not be able to cross Highview Avenue.

That closure is part of the Dodd Boulevard reconstruction project, which is expected to last until late September.

Here is more about that project:

DODD BOULEVARD AND HIGHVIEW AVENUE

Dodd Boulevard from 183rd Street to 175th Street and Highview Avenue from 1,100 feet south of Dodd to 175th Street will remain closed to traffic for several months. Traffic should follow the posted detour.

Dodd Boulevard will become a 4-lane divided roadway with a roundabout intersection at Dodd and Highview Avenue. The project also includes the reconstruction of Highview Avenue from approximately 1,100 feet south of Dodd to 175th Street.

(This information is the Dakota County’s current road construction website.)
