Oakdale Avenue (County Road 73) Resurfacing

County Pro​​ject 73-044

​​Dakota County is resurfacing Oakdale Avenue (County Road 73) from Mendota Road E. (County Road 14) to Wentworth Avenue (County Road 8) in West St. Paul.

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​

Work will tentatively begin late July 2026. 

The contractor will also be working on trail and crosswalk improvements. All work is weather dependent.
