Dakota County, in partnership with the City of Lakeville, is planning for the reconstruction of County Road 70 from Kensington Boulevard/Kenrick Avenue to Cedar Avenue. Roadway expansion to a four-lane divided highway will address safety concerns and congestion on this critical roadway that provides connections to established industrial parks with significant commercial and freight uses and future high-growth areas.
