Page 3 of 4 An Equal Opportunity Employer Planned Project Schedule The project is not yet fully funded and does not have a definitive construction start date. The anticipated schedule is:  August 2018: Project Letting.  September 2018: Minor construction begins with limited lane closures and minor traffic impacts.  April 2019: Major construction begins with major lane and ramp restrictions and major traffic impacts.  November 2023: Construction is completed. The existing freeway is mostly 6-lanes south of CR J. All 6-lanes will be open over each winter season. The freeway will be reduced to 4-lanes during the first stage, which will last 1.5 construction seasons. The second stage will have 5-lanes open, which will last another 1.5 years. The third stage will complete the pavement work north of CR J and keep 4-lanes open and will last one more construction season. City’s Estimated Project Costs If the city has requested to have city items added to the project (e.g., utilities, sidewalks), ask the city to provide their estimate of the costs for these items and use the city’s estimate in this submittal. For cost estimates, sometimes it is better to give range rather than a specific number. Some project costs are the City’s responsibility, as detailed in MnDOT’s cost participation policy. (See the policy and the Cost Participation and Maintenance with Local Units of Government Manual at MnDOT’s this website: http://www.dot.state.mn.us/policy/financial/fm011.html). At this time, the City does not have any cost participation in this project. There are no signals being reconstructed, and the City has not asked to add any work such as additional local street reconstruction or utility work. City’s Maintenance Responsibilities At this time there are no new City maintenance responsibilities. We are not adding new trails or bridges. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about this submittal. Sincerely, Jerome Adams
