Highway 47 at 142nd Avenue <br />Ramsey <br />The Minnesota Department of Transportation will modify the concrete median at the intersection of Highway <br />47 and 142nd Avenue to improve safety for motorists traveling through the intersection. Due to a lack of <br />visibility and resulting crashes at this intersection, the revised concrete median will prevent left turns from <br />southbound Highway 47 onto eastbound 142nd Avenue. Left turns from northbound Highway 47 onto <br />westbound 142nd Avenue will still be allowed after the project is complete. <br />Purpose <br />• Prevent crashes at the intersection due <br />to a lack of visibility. The modified <br />concrete median will prevent left turns <br />from southbound Hwy 47 onto <br />eastbound 142nd Avenue. <br />• Southbound Hwy 47 traffic will instead <br />turn left at Xkimo Street to reach <br />businesses on the east side of Hwy 47. <br />• Left turns at Xkimo Street are safer <br />because of the traffic signal at Hwy 47 <br />and Xkimo Street. <br />Construction schedule <br />• May through June 2016, weather <br />permitting. <br />Traffic impacts <br />Access to businesses along Hwy 47 between <br />Nowth,en Blvd/ k,irno Bt and.
