September 11, 2021 <br />Page 17 <br />Trip Volume ane Length <br />OD analysis of trips crossing the Mississippi River in the northwest metro indicates that the <br />Highway 101, 169 and 610 river crossings serve the region in unique and important ways. Highway <br />610 carries over half the river crossings in the study area and serves the highest portion of trips <br />between 20 and 30 minutes in length. This trip profile is consistent with work commutes. Highway <br />101 carries about one-fourth of the river crossings in study area and serves the highest proportion of <br />trips over 30 minutes. Highway 169 carries the fewest and shortest trips, with most of the trips <br />crossing on Highway 169 less than 20 minutes. These profiles suggest Highway 101 plays an <br />important role carrying trips into and out of the Twin Cities and Highway 169 is a critical <br />connection between the Cities of Champlin (Hennepin County) and Anoka (Anoka County) . <br />Table 1: Distribution of Daily Trips on Northwest Metro Mississippi River Crossings <br />Hwy 101 <br />US 169 <br />Hwy 610 <br />IWO <br />SB NB <br />SB NB lir <br />SB N-. <br />SB <br />NB <br />AM (6:00 to 10:00 am) <br />10,200 <br />5,000 <br />6,400 <br />4,100 <br />20,900 <br />11,800 <br />37,600 <br />20,800 <br />PM (3:00 to 7:00 pm) <br />8,600 <br />13,600 <br />5,000 <br />8,500 <br />17,600 <br />27,600 <br />31,300 <br />49,600 <br />Daily <br />32,100 <br />32,300 <br />20,900 <br />22,000 <br />66,700 <br />66,000 <br />119,700 <br />120,300 <br />64,500 (27%) <br />42,900 (18%) <br />132,700 (55%) <br />240,000 (100%) <br />Figure 6: Median and Range of Daily Trips on Northwest Metro Mississippi River Crossings <br />1 Highway 101 <br />Highway 169 <br />Highway 610 <br />14 <br />MILES <br />15 <br />was) <br />MILES <br />24 <br />MILS <br />23 <br />MILE <br />37 <br />MILES <br />15 <br />MILES <br />31 <br />ILES <br />15 20 25 <br />Distance ir, miles. <br />30 <br />35 <br />Northwest Metro Mississippi River Crossing Feasibility Analysis <br />
