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.
How About a Roundabout? video
The "How About a Roundabout?" video explains the benefits of the roundabout system on Minnesota roadways and how they reduce injury crashes and fatalities, increase pedestrian safety, and lessen vehicle congestion and pollution.
The "Getting There in a Roundabout Way" talk show was produced by Hibbing Public 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.
