About this project

Crews are replacing the bridge and reconstructing the interchange at Hwy 169 and Co. Rd. 9 (Rockford Rd./42nd Ave.) between New Hope and Plymouth. We will also be putting in accessible sidewalks for pedestrians and bicyclists.

Summary of work

• Replace the old bridge with a new, wider bridge
• Rebuilding the interchange from a full cloverleaf into a folded diamond layout
  • See a map of the new interchange
• Adding additional turn lanes and ramp lanes for drivers
• Adding new signal systems
• Replacing existing signals at Nathan Ln. and Gettysburg Ave.
• Adding new pedestrian and bike trails on both sides of Rockford Rd. for better and safer connection for Plymouth and New Hope pedestrians and bicyclists
