This is a major freeway connecting greater Minnesota and the growing north suburban area to downtown Minneapolis. The existing highway mobility on the I- 35W north corridor is considered deficient based on congestion levels and operational issues during peak travel periods. Traffic volumes and travel times have increased for all highway users (single- occupancy motorists, carpools, transit, and freight carriers) and a number of segments, along the corridor, experience significant (peak period) congestion each day. The Project needs include: Replacement of pavement and some bridges, within the corridor, that have reached the end of their service life and are scheduled to be replaced in the near future. Bridge preservation activities along the I-35W north project corridor. Consistency with regional transportation plans, utilizing existing and future infrastructure investments, and fiscal considerations. Project Scope The I-35W MnPASS project will include the construction of MnPASS express lanes on I-35W from south of County Road C in Roseville to north of Lexington Avenue in Blaine (about 11 miles). The project also includes pavement rehabilitation from County Road C to Sunset Avenue in Lino Lakes (about 12 miles), and construction of an auxiliary lane on westbound Highway 10 from I-35W to County Road J. The delivery method for I-35W North MnPASS project is Design-Build. Design-Build is a contracting process bringing designers and contractors together early in the detail design portion of a project. MnDOT uses the flexibility Design-Build offers to maximize the value received per dollar spent in a variety of situations. MnDOT made the decision to use the Design-Build process to speed the delivery of the project as the design and construction activities can occur, simultaneously, following letting and the delivery will reduce the impacts to the traveling public. The project includes: Construction of a MnPASS lane on I-35W in the northbound and southbound from south of County Road C in Roseville to Lexington Avenue in Blaine, Minnesota (about 11 miles in length). Construction of a concrete overly on the existing pavement from south of County Road C in Roseville to north of Sunset Avenue in Lino Lakes, Minnesota (about 12 miles in length). Construction of auxiliary lanes on westbound TH 10 from I-35W to County Road J. Construction of a buffer lane on northbound I-35W at the TH 694 interchange. Bridge construction on the project is as follows: 3 | P a g e Federal Project Number NHPP-HSIP I35W (012) I-35W North MnPASS Project State Project Number 6284-180 Table 1.
