Olson Memorial Hwy
Project Status
MnDOT is planning improvements for Olson Memorial Highway in Minneapolis between Border
Ave./Oak Lake Ave. and the bridge west of Thomas Ave. This highway is an important route for the local
community and surrounding region, including those that drive, walk, bike, roll and use public transit.
MnDOT conducted a study that included community engagement from August 2022 to May 2025 to
better understand the needs of the community. Safety for all travelers, improved facilities, mobility, and
travel times were identified as priorities shared by the community.
The next step in project development is preliminary design and will include collecting input from the
public to help refine design concepts and share a preferred design alternative.
