Split Rock River to Chapins Curve<br />
<strong>State</strong> Project No. 3806-60<br />
http://www.dot.state.mn.us/d1/projects/hwy61_split_rock/index.html<br />
Environmental Document Approval Date: 12/4/2009<br />
Municipal Consent Approval Date: Not Needed<br />
Geometric Layout Approval Date: 09/21/2008<br />
Construction Limits Established Date: 07/02/2008<br />
Original Letting Date: 11/23/2001<br />
Current Letting Date: 02/12/2010<br />
Construction Season: 2010/2011<br />
Estimated Substantial Completion: Fall 2011<br />
Project History:<br />
The Hwy. 61 Rehabilitation Project includes<br />
reconstruction of 3.4 Miles of Hwy. 61 in Lake<br />
County to improve highway safety by correcting<br />
existing design issues such as substandard<br />
horizontal curves, poor sight distance, narrow<br />
shoulders, steep in-slopes, and clear zone<br />
obstructions along the corridor. The<br />
reconstruction of Hwy. 61 will also reduce<br />
maintenance costs by replacing a deteriorating<br />
road core with a new structurally sound road core.<br />
Bicycle/pedestrian accessibility has been<br />
addressed by the addition of a bicycle/pedestrian<br />
underpass that connects the wayside rest just<br />
south of the Split Rock River to the existing<br />
bicycle/pedestrian trail.<br />
Project Benefits:<br />
Improved highway safety, increased sight<br />
distance, reduced maintenance costs, bike/ped<br />
accessibility<br />
Project Risks:<br />
If actual elevation of bed rock varies from the rock<br />
lines used for computation of quantities, the<br />
project costs could change significantly<br />
