HWY 169 REDEFINE
The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) will convert Highway 169 to a freeway, removing all five stoplights from the Mississippi River north through Elk River.
The Highway 169 corridor is an important north-south arterial route in central Minnesota. This route connects Minnesota's central lakes region and the greater Twin Cities metropolitan area with the growing trade centers of Elk River, Zimmerman, and Princeton. The highway plays an important role in serving commuters and recreational users, and connecting economic centers in the state.
