Project Summary Sheets<br />
A one-page project summary sheet has been created for each project in this report. The<br />
summary sheets are categorized by district and include the following project information:<br />
• Project location<br />
• Project description<br />
• Project history<br />
• Schedule<br />
• Date of approved STIP and<br />
estimated project cost<br />
• Date(s) of environmental<br />
approvals<br />
Annual Report on Major Highway Projects<br />
<strong>Minnesota</strong> Department of Transportation Page | 10<br />
• Date(s) of municipal approvals<br />
• Date of final geometric layout<br />
approval<br />
• Date of establishment of<br />
construction limits<br />
• Total project cost estimates<br />
• Past and potential reasons for<br />
delay in letting or completing the<br />
project<br />
For those projects currently under construction, the construction letting cost is shown in<br />
the “Current Estimate” column. The costs for projects that have been let are shown as<br />
actual construction contract amounts and costs are estimated for other elements, right of<br />
way and engineering.<br />
For those projects within the four-year STIP, a baseline cost estimate has been<br />
established and is shown under the “Baseline Est.” column on the one-page project<br />
summary sheet. This is the cost estimate that was established when a project first<br />
entered into the STIP. For this report, those projects that entered the STIP before<br />
December 2008, the baseline cost will be the December 2008 estimate. The most<br />
current project cost estimate is shown under the “Current Estimate” column and<br />
compared to the costs shown under the “Baseline Estimate” column for projects that are<br />
in the STIP.<br />
Projects outside of the STIP timeframe, but within the 15-year reporting period, will have<br />
a total project cost estimate range shown under the “Current Estimate” column. Since<br />
many of these projects are in the planning stages (beyond the four-year STIP), cost<br />
estimates and scopes are preliminary and not yet well defined.<br />
In accordance with paragraph 3, Subd. 2, of the statute, all projects identified within the 2011-14<br />
STIP are fundable with our current revenue projections (fiscally constrained) and are of a high<br />
priority to the districts. Projects within the 2015-25 HIP periods are a priority, but forecasts are<br />
more uncertain and full funding may not have been identified. Projects identified in this report<br />
that are outside of the HIP period have a larger degree of uncertainty.<br />
A spreadsheet containing a list of the major highway projects is included as quick reference.<br />
The spreadsheet identifies the Mn/DOT district, trunk highway or interstate, year in which<br />
construction is anticipated, project location, description, and the total cost estimate. The maps<br />
included are identified by the Area Transportation Partnership (ATP) 2 boundaries.<br />
2 An ATP is a group of traditional and non-traditional transportation partners including representatives from<br />
Mn/DOT, Metropolitan Planning Organizations, Regional Development Commissions, counties, cities, tribal<br />
governments, special interests, and the public that have the responsibility of developing a regional transportation<br />
improvement program for their area of the state.
