- Right shoulder of northbound Hwy 169 is closed between north of 89th Ave and north of 93rd Ave under construction as crews build an auxiliary lane for the new ramp
About this project
Summary of work
The project team developed and analyzed several options for reconstructing this intersection and picked a preferred alternative. Improvements include:
- Bridging County Hwy 30/93rd Ave N over Hwy 169 to the north of the existing intersection
- Constructing loop ramps in the northeast and northwest quadrants of the interchange for access to and from Hwy 169 to the south
- Providing access to St. Vincent’s Cemetery, retaining full access at Xylon Avenue and minimizing right of way impacts
- Signalizing the ramp intersections
- Providing eight-foot trails along both sides of 93rd Avenue N. through the project area
- Staging map (PDF, 271 KB)
Brooklyn Park, MnDOT, Hennepin County and Osseo have partnered to reconstruct this intersection because:
- Traffic signals are becoming less effective due to increasing traffic in the area
- The removal of Hwy 169 traffic signals to the north (Hwy 610 Project) and south (Triangle Project) will likely increase the current safety and congestion problems
