Hwy 36 Little Canada to Stillwater: 2022 construction
On Mon, April 25, Hwy 36 between Edgerton St. in Little Canada and Greeley St. in Stillwater will undergo road resurfacing work. In addition to pavement work, crews will be upgrading pedestrian accessibility in some locations along the project area and updating drainage. The work is expected to improve overall ride quality and pavement condition. The construction is expected to be complete by fall 2022.

If you travel on Hwy 36 between Little Canada and Stillwater, you’ll encounter possible delays, construction vehicles and other equipment in the area as crews begin setting up for road resurfacing work during the early morning hours of Mon, April 25.
There will also be shoulder and lane closures over the next two to three weeks while crews take down some cable guardrail in the project area.
Most of this work will be done during the day. However, for safety reasons, crews will also have to work during evening hours to avoid some of the heavy daytime traffic on this highway. MnDOT urges motorists to always be attentive, drive with caution and slow down in work zones where workers are present.
In early May, crews will begin directional weekend closures on Hwy 36 between I-35E and Hwy 61. We’ll have more details on these directional closures in the coming weeks.
All construction activities and traffic impacts are weather dependent and subject to change. All businesses and residences will remain accessible throughout the project however, you may have to use a different route.
