The Minnesota Department of Transportation conducted a corridor study on Highway 29 in Alexandria. Highway 29 is an important roadway for residents in north Alexandria and also serves as the primary entry point on the north side of the city.
The purpose of this study was to establish a vision for the corridor and to identify future roadway improvements to better serve all travel types (i.e. local versus regional traffic) and travel modes (i.e. cars, bikes, pedestrians).
