Authorization To Execute Detour Agreement No. 1057869 With Minnesota Department Of Transportation For Trunk Highway 3 In City Of Rosemount
end
PURPOSE/ACTION REQUESTED
Authorize the execution of Agreement 1057869 with the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) to accept reimbursement for State Project 1921-107, a Trunk Highway (TH) 3 detour on Count State Aid Highways 38, 31, and 42.
SUMMARY
To provide a safe and efficient transportation system, the County partners with MnDOT for the use of County Highways as applicable to facilitate traffic operations during TH construction projects. In 2025, MnDOT will be constructing a roundabout at the intersection of TH 3 and 142nd Street West near Rosemount High School. Minn. Stat. § 161.25 authorizes the Commissioner of Transportation to designate any public street or highway as a temporary detour when determined necessary for the construction or maintenance of any TH. MnDOT requires a detour to carry TH 3 traffic on CSAH 38 (McAndrews Road), CSAH 31 (Pilot Knob Road), and CSAH 42 (150th Street West) during construction (Attachment: Detour Map). The detour is expected to be in place for about 12 weeks beginning in the spring. The State will reimburse the County for road life consumed by the detour through the income determined by the “Gas Tax Method” in accordance with the Detour Management Study Final Report. The “Gas Tax Method” uses a formula that multiplies the combined tax factor per mile, Average Daily Traffic count of vehicles diverted from TH 3, the County road detour length, and the duration of the detour to determine the State’s cost.
Executing MnDOT Agreement No.1057869 is necessary for reimbursement by the State to the County. This agreement follows MnDOT’s standard documents for detours of state highway traffic onto a highway not under MnDOT’s jurisdiction.
