This project includes the reconstruction of Hwy 33 from the Doddridge Avenue/Big Lake Road intersection through the Cloquet Avenue intersection. MnDOT studied intersection improvements in 2024 and is beginning the engineering design for the corridor. Based on a traffic and safety analysis, as well as public input, the decision was made to replace the traffic signals at Carlton Avenue and Cloquet Avenue. Other corridor improvements include bike and pedestrian facilities, space for a future motorized trail, and new drainage infrastructure.
Public meetings
Join us for an open house on October 2, between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. at the Cloquet Armory-Minnesota National Guard (801 Highway 33 S, Cloquet, MN 55720)
Intersection Control Evaluation
Throughout 2024, MnDOT conducted an intersection control evaluation (ICE study) to determine improvements at Carlton Avenue and Cloquet Avenue intersections. The state engaged the public and studied traffic and safety analysis to determine enhanced signal lights at both intersections. Materials from that process can be found below.
