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 />
