Commercial Real Estate MN & County Hwy 70 has been in the local news recently. The Lakeville Chamber of Commerce held a meeting recently, about future plans and considerations for this county highway. This topic is not only important to our team at APPRO and CERRON and its Lakevile location , but also for many of our clients and neighbors.
Mark Krebsbach, Dakota County Transportation Director/County Engineer gave the presentation and included the following topics:
- Dakota County Highway System
- Principal Arterial Study
- County Highway Projects in Lakeville
- County Highway 70 Conditions and Characteristics
- Questions and Discussions
In this summary, you will learn about a few of the highlights of this presentation and we will also include links to additional information.
Some of the key take away items included in this presentation were the following:

Summary of County Highway 70 current conditions:
- Predominantly 2-lane rural section
- Transitioning to 3-lane section with left turn lanes
- Full depth pavement rehabilitation in 2012 - pavement quality 3.9 out of 4.0

Potential County Highway 70 project information summary:
- 4-lane divided section
