The 20-Year State Highway Investment Plan has been adopted

The final 20-Year Minnesota State Highway Investment Plan (MnSHIP) is available for review.

Updated every five years, MnSHIP directs capital funding on the almost 12,000 miles of state highways. The plan is fiscally constrained, meaning that MnDOT needs to budget for the estimated revenue over the next 20 years. The updated plan’s investment direction describes how MnDOT will use its estimated 20-year budget of $37 billion to repair, replace and improve the state highway system. The MnSHIP investment direction has four main themes:

• Invest to maintain the existing system

• Improve mobility, accessibility, and safety for all

• Begin to adapt to a changing future

• Focus on communities and livability

During multiple rounds of public engagement for the plan, Minnesota state highway users provided their priorities for spending on the state highway system and gave their feedback on the draft investment direction and draft plan. This feedback informed development of the plan from the development of the draft investment direction to the adjustments made to the draft plan. Thank you to everyone who participated in the MnSHIP planning process.

The plan is posted online at MinnesotaGo.org. Hard copies are available at the MnDOT Library, 395 John Ireland Blvd., in St. Paul and at the eight MnDOT district headquarters located statewide.
