Key takeaway The Highway 62 westbound on-ramp from Valley View Road will be closed through the fall, with more closures possible in 2027.
Why this matters in The Minneapolis
The replacement of the Rosland Park pedestrian bridge in Edina will have a significant impact on the daily commute of Minneapolis residents who travel to Edina for work or leisure. As the project moves forward, Minneapolis residents can expect increased traffic on alternative routes, such as Interstate 35W, which may lead to longer commute times. The closure of the Highway 62 westbound on-ramp from Valley View Road will also affect Minneapolis residents who use this route to access the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport or other destinations in the southern Twin Cities. The city of Edina's efforts to improve accessibility and safety with the new bridge will ultimately benefit Minneapolis residents who use the bridge to connect to Rosland Park's amenities and trails, but in the short term, they will need to plan for detours and potential delays.
