2017 Minnesota State Highway Investment Plan

Minnesota’s 12,000-mile state highway system plays a key role in supporting the state’s economy and quality of life. Businesses rely on the system to move their goods and raw materials throughout the state. In addition, state highways connect Minnesotans to other transportation networks and to state, national and global markets. The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) is responsible for constructing, operating, and maintaining this system. The 20-Year Minnesota State Highway Investment Plan (MnSHIP) is MnDOT’s vehicle for deciding and communicating capital investment priorities for the system for the next 20 years.

The draft 2023-2042 MnSHIP is now available for public comment here. That plan will replace the 2017 MnSHIP as MnDOT's guiding document for state highway investment.
