Minnesota Department of Transportation <br />Metropolitan District <br />Waters Edge <br />1500 West County Road B2 <br />Roseville, MN 55113 <br />January 4, 2016 <br />Dear resident, <br />The Minnesota Department of Transportation will build a concrete median at the <br />intersection of Highway 47 and 142nd Avenue to improve safety for motorists traveling <br />through the intersection. Due to a lack of visibility and resulting crashes at this <br />intersection, the new concrete median will prevent left turns from southbound Highway <br />47 onto eastbound 142nd Avenue. <br />The project is scheduled to begin in May and be completed by the end of June, 2016. <br />During the project, southbound traffic will turn left at Xkimo Street to reach businesses <br />on the east side of Highway 47. At the same time, turns from northbound and <br />southbound Highway 47 to westbound 142nd Avenue and from northbound Highway 47 <br />to eastbound 142nd Avenue will temporarily close during construction. A signed <br />business access route will direct motorists to use local streets to access businesses <br />during the closure. <br />More information on transportation projects and construction updates are available on <br />MnDOT's Facebook page and on Twitter. <br />For travel information anywhere in Minnesota visit www.511 mn.orq or dial 511. <br />MnDOT will provide updates about upcoming traffic changes throughout the project. For <br />more information, please visit www.mndot.gov/metro/projects/hwy47/. If you have <br />questions or need additional information, please contact me at 651-234-7504. <br />Sincerely, <br />R.
