Key takeaway Highway 62 between Highway 100 and I-35W will be closed in both directions starting Friday night at 10 p.
Why this matters in The Minneapolis
The closure of Highway 62 in Edina will undoubtedly cause inconvenience for Minneapolis commuters who rely on this route to travel to and from the southern suburbs. With the detour taking drivers on Highway 100, I-494, and I-35W, traffic congestion is likely to increase on these alternative routes, potentially affecting travel times for those heading to work or other destinations in the Twin Cities area. As the project to replace the Rosland Park pedestrian bridge is expected to last until the summer of 2027, residents can anticipate more closures and detours in the future. The impact of this construction will be felt not only by drivers but also by local businesses and residents who may experience disruptions to their daily routines. It will be crucial to monitor the progress of this project and its effects on the community to ensure that the benefits of the new bridge outweigh the temporary hardships caused by the construction.
