About the Hwy 7 Corridor Study
MnDOT is studying Hwy 7 from Hopkins Crossroad in Hopkins to the western Hennepin County line in St. Bonifacius. This study will seek to understand the transportation needs of all users and identify opportunities for future improvements.
From November 2021 through June 2022, a road safety audit was conducted on Hwy 7 from Hwy 100 in St. Louis Park to Carver Co. Rd. 33 in Hollywood Township. This audit recommended that a full planning study be completed to develop a vision for future improvements. Public feedback and recommendations from the audit will be incorporated into this study.
This study will also inform the design of a pavement resurfacing project planned for 2029 from Christmas Lake Rd. in Shoreview to 1 mile east of Mills St. in the City of St. Bonifacius.
This study will continue through June 2025. For more information, visit the Hwy 7 study webpage.
