    √ Starting on Monday, March 29, the eastbound I-494 off-ramp to Flying Cloud Drive will close for the 2021 construction season. The I-494 on-ramp from Flying Cloud Drive will also be closed into July.

    √ The right-turn lane on the eastbound Highway 212 off-ramp to PrairieCenter Drive remains closed.

    √ The SouthWest station area remains a busy construction site with ongoing piling and concrete work.

    √ In April, crews will begin construction along Flying Cloud Drive between Town Center Place and Valley View Road. Expect one lane in each direction as work will close the south half of the roadway. Technology Drive will operate as a right-in, right-out at the Flying Cloud Drive intersection.
