Northfield Boulevard (County Road 47) Resurfacing

County Pro​​ject 47-050

​​Dakota County is resurfacing Northfield Boulevard (County Road 47) from Highway 50 to Highway 52 in Hampton and Hampton Township.

This segment is part of the 11.5 miles of roadways resurfaced this construction season. Pavement resurfacing involves removing and replacing a layer of asphalt. This is referred to as a “mill and overlay.” The result will be better looking, longer lasting, and smoother roadway.

Road closures and detours

Drivers should expect temporary lane closures, flaggers, and delays throughout the project. Please allow extra time for travel, watch for construction signage and be cautious while driving through the construction area.

Construction ​progress​

July 10–18

  • Placing traffic control on Wednesday, July 15
  • Removing existing layer of pavement
  • Installing new concrete will begin towards the end of the week
  • Installing new manhole covers, patching curb, paving and restoration is scheduled for the week of July 20 

All work is weather dependent.
