A new interchange at Thurston Ave and underpass at Fairoak Ave are slated to begin construction in <br />2022. Strategic congestion mitigation in the form of additional lanes are planned for TH 10 in Coon <br />Rapids. Most recently, Anoka County secured a federal INFRA grant of $40m toward completion of grade <br />separation at the TH 10/169 interchange. These projects together start to build out the freeway vision <br />and improved mobility along the corridor through Anoka County. <br />Key Takeaways <br />• Congestion is expected to increase on Highway 10 in the future <br />• Significant planning completed for freeway conversion <br />• Some infrastructure grade separations completed along the corridor and some are planned and <br />funded <br />• The project technical advisory committee for the Ramsey Gateway Project recommended grade <br />separations and frontage road improvements for Ramsey Blvd, Sunfish Lake Blvd and adjacent <br />areas. <br />Met Council 2040 Transportation Policy Plan (2018) <br />This document is the transportation element of the Metropolitan Council's regional plan —Thrive MSP <br />2040. It includes the goals and policies to carry out the region's transportation vision. <br />Look Back <br />The TPP sets the stage by discussing traffic conditions and the location of recent investments. The <br />Highway Investment chapter includes a map of major mobility and preservation projects completed <br />since 2015, noting the interchange investment at Armstrong Blvd/US-10 and the extension of TH 61 to I- <br />94. For traffic conditions, the 2040 congested principal arterials map shows widespread congestion for <br />more than one hour on many roadways within the feasibility study area, including 1-94, TH 101, US-10, <br />TH 169 and TH 610 (east of TH 169).
