Grand Rapids/La Prairie corridor study

About this project

Summary of work

Corridor study of the Hwy 2/Hwy 169 corridor from NW 19th Avenue to NE 7th Street from Hwy 2 to the Mississippi River. This corridor includes nine signalized intersections, 11 non-signalized intersections and five private accesses. MnDOT will be evaluating existing conditions (traffic volumes, operations and safety) and future conditions that account for growth and anticipated development in Grand Rapids and La Prairie.

The study will provide intersection and corridor recommendations to increase safety for all traffic and increased pedestrian and bicycle usage to and from destinations on both sides of Hwy 2 and Hwy 169.
