Background:
In 2024, the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) will be constructing improvements along TH 101 in the cities of Chanhassen and Eden Prairie. The project will include bituminous mill and overlay, signal revisions, Americans with Disabilities Act improvements, and trail reclamation construction.
During construction TH 101 will be closed to through traffic in the northbound direction for approximately 60 days, with traffic detoured onto CSAH 82 for a distance of 0.8 miles. MnDOT will provide the county with advance notice identifying the dates it intends to establish the detour.
Minnesota Statutes, section 161.25 authorizes the Commissioner of Transportation to designate any public street as a temporary trunk highway detour when determined that such detour is necessary for the purpose of maintaining or constructing a trunk highway. MnDOT will reimburse Hennepin County for the road life consumed on CSAH 82 during its use as a detour while Truck Highway 101 is under construction. The reimbursement will be based on an average daily traffic count of 4,747 vehicles diverted from northbound TH 101 onto CSAH 82. The estimated $1,169 will be received as revenue in the operating budget for the Transportation Operations Department.
Impact/Outcome:
This action supports the county’s disparity reduction efforts by utilizing a county roadway to provide accessibility and mobility for the transportation network users that typically use Trunk Highway 101 to reach their destinations.
