Hwy 24 — Clearwater
Develop project
MnDOT will reconstruct the Hwy 24 interchange at I-94 between 179th St. to Ash St. in Clearwater.
Final design and work staging will continue through 2025, with construction expected to begin in summer 2026 and wrap up by late fall 2027.
Larger area evaluated
Although current funding only allows us to reconstruct the Hwy 24 interchange at I-94, MnDOT has evaluated the entire one-mile stretch of Hwy 24 through Clearwater, from Co. Rd. 7 to the Mississippi River.
- Current and future safety and mobility needs
- Pedestrian and bicycle resources
- Access needs
- Long-term vision for this area of Hwy 24
- Analysis will result in a selected preliminary design
This will support future funding opportunities, allow the community to plan ongoing development, and minimize rework when the rest of the area is reconstructed in the future.
