Highway 110 Construction: Westbound Closure

DAKOTA COUNTY, MN — Motorists traveling westbound on Highway 110 in Inver Grove Heights, West St. Paul, Sunfish Lake and Mendota Heights will encounter a closure and a detour between Interstate 494 and Interstate 35E beginning at 12:01 a.m. Monday, Aug. 7 (following the opening of eastbound Highway 110).

Motorists wishing to travel westbound on Highway 110 should follow the signed detour using westbound I-494, northbound I-35E and eastbound Highway 110 in order to bypass the closure.

The north and south movements will remain open at the intersections of Highway 149/Dodd Road, Delaware Avenue and Highway 110. However, there will be several intersections that may be restricted or closed throughout the work zone.

Motorists traveling eastbound on Highway 110 will use their usual lanes.
