Through the 1-35E/1-694 commons area, the existing inside <br /> lane will be designated as a MnPASS lane during the weekday morning rush-hour period <br /> (6:00-10:00 AM) <br /> • Northbound MnPASS lane extension begins at County Rd. E and ends just north of <br /> County Rd J. Through the 1-35E/1-694 commons area (between Little Canada Rd. <br /> and County Rd. E), there will be no MnPASS lane designation. <br /> • The performance of the different MnPASS lane approach through the 1-35E/1-694 <br /> commons will be evaluated over a two year period to determine whether modifications <br /> need to be made. <br /> Project Benefits <br /> • Improved mobility, smoother, safer, longer-lasting roads and bridges <br /> • Better pedestrian accessibility <br /> • Upgraded drainage capabilities <br /> • MnPASS lanes will provide a reliable uncongested option for commuters and will increase I- <br /> 35E's capacity to move more people <br /> For more information and to sign up for project email updates, visit <br /> http://www.dot.state.mn.us/metro/promects/i35vadnaisheights/ <br /> Contact Us <br /> Denise Workcuff— MnDOT Public Affairs— den ise.workcuff@state.mn.us—651-234-7502 <br /> Dale Gade — MnDOT Project Manager- dale.gade@state.mn.us —651-234-7713 <br /> Traffic Updates -www.511 mn.orq or Twitter: @mndottraffic <br />
