    Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) crews have reopened Highway 101 to local traffic at Purgatory Creek in Eden Prairie and Chanhassen.

    On Aug. 22, workers closed Highway 101 between Choctaw Circle and Sandy Hook Road/Lotus View Drive while improving drainage at Purgatory Creek.

    In June, Highway 101 closed in both directions between County Road 62 in Eden Prairie and Highway 5 in Chanhassen, and is only open to traffic seeking a destination within the project area.
