vfhich projects are planned to be built soon? <br />A number of projects described in the Corridor Plan are currently underway. These projects are already included <br />in the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) or the Work and Studies Plan Process. The following <br />table identifies these projects that are already programmed. <br /> <br /> Project Cost Status <br /> <br />CR 33 intemhange <br />(Elk River) <br /> <br />$12 million (budgeted cost) <br /> <br />Construction planned for <br />2003 <br /> <br />GSAH 9 interchange <br />(North of Zimmerman) <br /> <br />$4 million (let cost) <br /> <br />Construction in 2002 <br /> <br />CSAH 11 Safety <br />Improvement <br />(North of Milaca) <br /> <br />$1 million (budgeted cost) <br /> <br />Construction planned for <br />2004 <br /> <br />Upgrade to 4-lane <br />expressway between TH 27 <br />(Onamia) and TH 18 <br />(Garrison) <br /> <br />Estimates for this project range from $50 to $100 <br />million. It is not possible to provide an accurate <br />estimate for this project at this time. <br /> <br />Draft ElS published; <br />public hearing March 4th <br /> <br />Which projects should be started next? <br /> <br />Projects necessary to achieve IRC speed and safety performance targets are considered the top priorities and are <br /> <br />included on the following table. <br /> <br /> Proiect <br /> <br /> Improved and new interchanges from 1-94 to CSAH 144 <br /> <br /> New interchange at CSAH 36 <br /> <br /> New interchange at CSAH 37; overpass at CSAH 42 <br /> <br /> New interchange at CSAH 39 <br /> <br /> Improved interchange at TH 10 <br /> <br /> New interchange at Main Street; overpass at School Street <br /> <br /> New interchange (possible split diamond concept) at <br /> Jackson/197th <br /> <br /> New interchange at CSAH 4 <br /> <br />Location <br /> <br />Estimated Cost <br /> <br />Rogers $66 million <br />Otsego/St. Michael $16 million <br />Otsego $17 million <br />Otsego $11 million <br />Elk River $29 million <br />Elk River $13 million <br />Elk River $16 million <br />Zimmerman $21 million <br /> <br />The corridor partners worked together to reach consensus that upgrading TH 101-TH 169 to a freeway between <br />Rogers and Princeton is strongly supported as the long-term vision for an improved corridor. The most favorable <br />projects for achieving the vision (listed in order from south to north) are: <br /> <br />· Rogers through Elk River -Upgrade to a 4-lane freeway (6-lane freeway possible long-term vision) <br />· Elk River to Princeton - Upgrade to a 4-lane freeway as long term vision <br /> Princeton to Onamia -Access m~nagement and consolidation toward development nodes to maintain <br /> performance of existing highway <br />· Onamia to Garrison - Upgrade to a four-lane expressway (current EIS project) <br /> <br /> <br />
