BACKGROUND
To provide a safe and efficient transportation system for all users, Dakota County, in partnership with the City of Inver Grove Heights, proceeded with County Project (CP) 63-29, a study to investigate and map the location and footprint for a future interchange on Interstate 494 at a future extension of County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 63 in Inver Grove Heights.
The work's primary outcome will allow preservation of land areas needed for future roadway infrastructure for the interchange and the CSAH 63 corridor. This will be accomplished by mapping roadway infrastructure to provide long-term design flexibility. The City of Inver Grove Heights will consider adopting a right of way map (Attachment: Draft Right of Way Map) to secure the ability to preserve the necessary right of way for the future interchange. The study also included traffic analysis, planning for local roadway connections to the County system, and other transportation recommendations.
Staff will provide the County Board with an update on the study results and recommendations.
