Main Routes in Apple Valley
Apple Valley has several key roads that help move people and goods around the city and connect it with the broader Twin Cities area. One of the most important is Minnesota State Highway 77, also known locally as Cedar Avenue. This state highway begins in Apple Valley and runs north past Eagan and Bloomington, eventually reaching Minneapolis and intersecting with other major routes such as State Highway 62.
South of the city, Cedar Avenue continues as a county road, helping keep traffic flowing through the southern suburbs.
East‑west travel in Apple Valley is served by County Road 42, which runs through the city along streets like 140th and 150th Streets. This county arterial stretches across several south‑metro communities and connects to places like Burnsville, Savage, and Hastings.
While Apple Valley is not directly on an interstate freeway, Interstate 35E runs nearby to the west in neighboring cities. It links the south metro to St. Paul and provides a faster way to reach other parts of the Twin Cities region.
Other local roads, such as Pilot Knob Road and McAndrews Road, serve as important north‑south and east‑west connectors within the city itself.
