About this project

Crews have replaced the bridge and reconstructed the interchange at Hwy 169 and Co. Rd. 9 (Rockford Rd./42nd Ave.) between New Hope and Plymouth. We also put in accessible sidewalks for pedestrians and bicyclists during construction.

Summary of work

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