About this project

Crews are replacing the bridge and reconstructing the interchange at Hwy 169 and Co. Rd. 9 (Rockford Rd./42nd Ave.) between New Hope and Plymouth. We will also be putting in accessible sidewalks for pedestrians and bicyclists.

Summary of work

  • Replace the old bridge with a new, wider bridge
  • Rebuilding the interchange from a full cloverleaf into a folded diamond layout
  • Adding additional turn lanes and ramp lanes for drivers
  • Adding new signal systems
  • Replacing existing signals at Nathan Ln. and Gettysburg Ave.
  • Adding new pedestrian and bike trails on both sides of Rockford Rd. for better and safer connection for Plymouth and New Hope pedestrians and bicyclists
