The Minnesota Department of Transportation also is scheduled to start work this week on Cedar/Hwy 77 from 138th Street to the Minnesota River.
Week of Aug. 6 Construction on Cedar began in April 2011. The county project involves creating shoulders specifically for buses and widening Cedar Avenue to accommodate a bus rapid transit system, a station-to-station line that would have buses running from Lakeville to a park-and-ride near the Mall of America and back every 15 minutes during the week. The goal of bus rapid transit, which also is recommended or planned for other corridors besides Cedar, is to better and more quickly connect the southern suburbs with Minneapolis and St. Paul. It was announced this spring that the original November 2012 launch date would be pushed back to at least 2013 due to discrepancies over bus station designs. Dakota County has since OK'd the city of …

County Road 70 is being repaved this summer from Kensington Boulevard to Cedar Avenue.
County Road 70 in Lakeville between Kensington Boulevard and Cedar Avenue will be be closing on June 11 for a massive repaving project that will last through August. The project will be split up, and detours will be posted, but travel into Lakeville's Air Lake Industrial Park from Interstate 35 will likely be most affected through the summer.

The reclaimed material is then spread, shaped and compacted to produce a uniform graded base for new pavement. Crews will then add several layers of new pavement on top of the reclaimed material.
