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.

  • Transportation Improvement Program (STIP)
    Metro District/Program Management June 6, 2018 TAC - June 20, 2018 TAB 2019-2022 STIP & 2023-2028 CHIP Overview Figure 1. 3rd Avenue Bridge (MN 65) 2019-2022 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) The new funding from the 2017 Minnesota Legislative session continues to impact the MnDOT Metro District program as projects are advanced and new projects are developed in the STIP years. A major river crossing, the 3rd Ave Bridge (MN 65), enters the STIP this year. Changes from last year’s STIP Projects moving and being added due to new funding • I-35 Pavement in Chisago County advanced from 2021 to 2019 • 3rd Ave Bridge (MN 65) in downtown Minneapolis, advanced from 2021 to 2020 • I-94 Pavement and auxiliary lanes in NW Hennepin County, advanced from 2026 to 2020 • Re-thinking I-94, additional investment beginning 2021 • Other infrastructure: $10M in new funding in each year (2018-2021) is being used to upscope current projects and develop stand-alone roadside infrastructure projects. Main Streets and Interchange funding Some of the new funding has been set aside in 2020 and 2021 for two initiatives in Metro: • The $10M/yr Main Streets pool is intended to upscope projects on trunk highways that run through community main streets or are urban reconstruction projects. These funds will close funding gaps for additional needs that MnDOT and locals have identified as long term fixes that cannot be funded in another way. • A pool for interchange/mobility projects has funding in 2020 ($10M), 2021 ($20M), and 2022 ($25). Through 2021, these funds are intended primarily for MnDOT participation on projects that local agencies are leading on the state highway system.

Abstract (Limit: 250 words) Dynamically priced High Occupancy Toll (HOT) lanes have been recently added to the traffic operations arsenal in an attempt to preserve infrastructure investment in the future by maintaining a control on demand. This study focuses on the operational and design features of HOT lanes. HOT lanes’ mobility and safety are contingent on the design of zones (“gates”) that drivers use to merge in or out of the facility.

  • Mnpass System Study Phase 2
    This document is made available electronically by the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library as part of an ongoing digital archiving project. http://www.leg.state.mn.us/lrl/lrl.asp MnPASS Study II September 2010 final report MnPASS System Study Phase 2 prepared for Minnesota Department of Transportation prepared by Cambridge Systematics, Inc. 100 CambridgePark Drive, Suite 400 Cambridge, MA 02140 date August 2010 Minnesota Department of Transportation 395 John Ireland Boulevard Saint Paul, MN 55155 September 24, 2010 Dear Citizens of Minnesota: I am pleased to share with you the MnPASS System Study Phase 2 Report, which provides analysis and recommendations for the next generation of MnPASS managed lane projects in the Twin Cities metropolitan region. The study was conducted by a consultant team and a joint Mn/DOT-Metropolitan Council technical advisory committee. The committee originally identified 19 sections of road and recommended several projects that can be built early and in conjunction with other planned construction. The team also looked for roads that have strong transit services, provide direct links to downtown areas, provide regional equity and build on the existing MnPASS Express Lane system. Eight routes are recommended, ranging from highest priority projects that could move forward in two to 10 years to more long-term opportunities. The report recognizes several policy issues that will need careful consideration and analysis as the MnPASS Express Lane system expands. These issues include establishing a regional consensus on the purpose of the MnPASS Express Lanes; ensuring equitable treatment of travelers across the region, working with the state’s partners at the Federal Highway Administration to develop safe and cost-effective designs, developing strategies for financing new lanes, considering freight and how it will be affected by the MnPASS system; and ensuring continued advantages for transit.

  • Chapter 5 Highway Investment Direction and Plan
    CHAPTER 5 HIGHWAY INVESTMENT DIRECTION AND PLAN The Existing Regional Highway System Residents and businesses view a safe and efficient regional highway system as an essential part of a transportation system. Highways support and contribute to the variety of travel options that the federal government, the state government, and the region recognize is required for a prosperous metropolitan area. Virtually all people use roads and almost all freight travels on a highway at some point during its trip. This chapter deals primarily with the highways designated as principal arterials (see Figure 5-1), sometimes called the Metropolitan Highway System. These roads also make up the federally- designated National Highway System (NHS). MnDOT owns and operates the great majority of the principal arterials, while counties and the City of Saint Paul own the remaining six roadways. Principal arterials are generally limited-access highways and freeways such as U.S. Highway 10 (US 10) and Interstate 94 (I-94). A-minor arterial roadways, which are critical to support and supplement principal arterials, and provide access to jobs, education, and industry, are also addressed by policies in this plan (see Figure 5-2). The A-minor arterials are intended to provide less mobility than the principal arterials but provide more access to other roadways and land uses. The A-minor arterial system is divided into four subclassifications (see Appendix D for definitions and a discussion of highway functional classification). These roadways are also important as first-last mile freight connections between freight-generating businesses and the principal arterial system and provides redundancy to the principal arterials.
