Hwy 24 — Clearwater

Project development complete

MnDOT thanks the community for their engagement during the 2024-2025 study and development of this Hwy 24 project in Clearwater on the Let's Talk Transportation platform!

The Hwy 24 interchange at I-94 will be constructed between 179th St. to Ash St. in Clearwater. The project will include a new bridge, ramp accesses with roundabouts, sidewalks and a multi-use trail.

Final design 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.
