REPORT ON T.H. #47 MNDOT IMPROVEMENTS <br />By: Steven J. Jankowski, City Engineer <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Attached to this case is a memo from Larry Phillips, which outlines several projects which are <br />anticipated on T.H. #47. These projects include the replacement of the highway bridge over Tmtt <br />Brook, the construction of additional turn and by-pass lanes at seven intersections along T.H. 4/47, <br />and a bituminous resurfacing project. The turn lane project was scheduled for letting in 1998, but <br />right-of-way acquisition will fa'st make that possible in 1999. This project anticipates placing mm <br />and by-pass lanes at 160th Lane, 164th Avenue, 167th Avenue, 177th Avenue, County Road #63, <br />179th Avenue and 180th Avenue. <br /> <br />The bridge over Trott Brook is scheduled for replacement in 1998. Staff has indicated to the State <br />that the horizontal alignment of the new bridge should be shifted as much as possible to smooth the <br />difficult "S" alignment. This project is now proposed to be pushed back one year to 1999. <br /> <br />Finally, a mill and overlay project was scheduled for 2001. This project is proposed to be <br />accelerated to 1999. The advantage to the public will be that construction impacts and detours will <br />be compressed into one construction season. It may also be possible to aim for some cooperative <br />agreement projects identified in the corridor study with MnDOT for this year. <br /> <br />Committee Action: <br /> <br />None required. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br /> <br />City Engineer <br /> <br />R&B: 3/12/96 <br /> <br />/kas <br /> <br /> <br />
