About the project
MnDOT is improving three miles of Highway 12 between Wayzata and Minnetonka through a major pavement preservation project. Work includes full road reconstruction, pavement repairs and important drainage improvements, which will support the overall maintenance and lifespan of the roadway.
Motorists on Highway 12 will experience lane reductions in each direction between Shoreline Drive in Wayzata and I-494 in Minnetonka during construction. Several ramps in the Highway 12 project area will also be closed during the project. Motorists should expect delays and weekend closures.
