We are studying Hwy 61 from I-94 to Lower Afton Rd. in St. Paul to determine what safety, mobility and accessibility improvements are needed for a 2027 resurfacing project. We will look at data on current traffic volumes, vehicle turning movements, crashes, and conduct traffic forecasting and modeling to determine if existing intersections need to change.

We will also gather input from communities close to the study area on their safety, mobility and accessibility needs. Using data and community feedback, we will create and evaluate potential options for the 2027 resurfacing project.
