Summary of work
This project will replace the existing intersection on Hwy 33 where the I-35 ramps and frontage road meet with a new roundabout. Why a roundabout? This type of intersection control addresses all the high-speed right angle conflicts as well as addresses the concerns of the fatalities and injury-related crashes.
Over a period of 10-years, there have been two-fatality crashes and five-serious injury crashes at this location.
Existing intersection
I-35 and Hwy 33 from the South.
Proposed roundabout
I-35 and Hwy 33 from the Northeast.

"Getting There in a Roundabout Way" talk show
The "Getting There in a Roundabout Way" talk show was produced by Hibbing Pubic Access TV to provide information for a roundabout being constructed in Hibbing.
This video includes generic information about roundabouts and may answer some of the questions you have about the roundabout that will be built in Cloquet.
