Goodwin Avenue (County Road 85) Bridge Replacement

County Project 85-23

Dakota County will replace the bridge over the Vermillion River on Goodwin Avenue. The bridge is 1 mile north of 190th Street (County Road 62) in Vermillion Township.

Road closures and detours

Goodwin Avenue (County Road 85) is now closed for the duration of the project.  The detour uses 190^th Street (County Road 62), Northfield Boulevard (County Road 47) and 160^th Street (County Road 46) to get around the bridge closure. See detour map.

For everyone’s safety, please follow the posted detour and avoid driving through or around the closed construction area. Using the designated detour helps protect workers and keeps traffic moving safely. Thank you for your patience and cooperation during construction.

Construction progress

Aug. 14–22

Crews have demolished the north abutment (the structure that supports the end of the bridge) and will install underground metal columns that support the bridge driving surface at the north abutment

Temporary supports are being installed to support the bridge slab (driving surface) during construction.
