Project History:<br />

Project initiated by the need for regular pavement<br />

rehabilitation. Scope was broadened to include<br />

several safety improvements. [Left turn lane<br />

modifications at Design and Clearwater Drive(s),<br />

Extension of all auxiliary lanes to 500 feet, partial<br />

implementation of access management plan<br />

developed in 2001]. Installation of three left turn<br />

lanes between Nisswa and Pequot Lakes [twolane<br />

section] scoped into this project to prevent<br />

further delay of these low-cost safety<br />

improvements.<br />

Project Benefits:<br />

Improved Safety and Reduced Congestion<br />

Project Risks:<br />

Closing 20+ median crossovers may become<br />

controversial. Section 4(f) property involved at one<br />

left turn lane location.<br />

The delay of SP 1810-92 resulted in a re-scope of this project including three left turn lanes<br />

being added in the segment where the four-lane project (SP 1810-92) will be built as an<br />

interim fix to address safety concerns. This added cost and complexity<br />

Key Cost Estimate Assumptions:<br />

No purchase of R/W needed. No extensive mitigation required for impact to section 4(f)<br />
