Revised Detour Maps:
Cities impacted:
Coon Rapids and Blaine
What we are doing:
The project will reconstruct Main Street / 125th Avenue (CSAH 14) from east of Crane Street in Coon Rapids to west of Ulysses Street in Blaine. Planned improvements include increasing the roadway from two lanes to four, adding a raised median with curb and gutter, constructing a pedestrian trail for the full length of the project, constructing an overpass of the BNSF rail line, and replacing the existing five traffic signals with new signals and appropriate turn lanes.
NEW How traffic is affected:
Beginning Tuesday, May 15, 2012, east bound traffic on Main Street/125th Avenue between Ulysses Street NE and Jefferson Street NE will be shifted to the newly constructed south side of the roadway. On Wednesday, May 16, 2012, west bound traffic will be shifted to the south side of Main Street/125th Avenue between Jefferson Street NE and Ulysses Street NE. Traffic will remain single-lane in each direction.
Construction crews will be reconstructing the north side of Main Street/125th Avenue. Access to local streets, businesses and schools will be maintained, however some access points will shift during this phase of construction.
Main Street/125th Avenue is closed to all traffic from Avocet Street to University Avenue. The intersections of both Foley Boulevard and University Avenue will remain open and will be single lane in each direction during construction.
Motorists are asked to follow the posted detour routes.
REMINDER: Persons traveling to and from Blaine High School should expect delays due to construction, and should allow extra time for travel. Blaine High School staff, visitors, and students are asked to consider carpooling to school events in order to reduce traffic congestion.
