Lone Oak Road (County Road 26) Road and Trail Improvements

County Project 26-6​​​7​

Dakota County is working with the City of Eagan to create a safer corridor for vehicles, pedestrians and bicyclists. We will make roadway and trail improvements to Lone Oak Road (County Road 26) between Highway 13 and Interstate 35E in Eagan.

The project will reconstruct the roadway between Highway 13 and Pilot Knob (County Road 31) and construct a trail on the south side.

The project will also resurface and modify the roadway from four and five lanes to three lanes between Pilot Knob Road (County Road 31) and I-35E. This includes one through lane in each direction and a center left-turn lane. The ​width between the curbs will not change. Expanded medians and updated pedestrian ramps will also be constructed.

Road closures and detours

County Road 26 (Lone Oak Road) opened for traffic on Tuesday, Nov. 25.  This is still an active construction site, please drive with caution.​
