SHAKOPEE, Minn. (FOX 9) - Some lanes along a popular stretch of Highway 169 are now closed between Shakopee and Jordan until mid-August.
According to the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT), commuters will notice a reduction to one lane in both directions that started at 7 a.m. on Wednesday, between Highway 21 in Jordan, and Highway 41 in Jackson Township.
Also beginning Wednesday, through late June, drivers will be limited to right-in, right-out access to Highway 169 throughout the stretch.
MnDOT says the project will repave and repair Highway 169, while also constructing new medians and J-turns that eliminate left turns – an effort to improve safety.
