About the project
In 2021-22, MnDOT conducted a corridor study along Hwy 61 through Two Harbors. We worked with the community to identify multiple improvement aspects of the corridor and presented the final corridor plan at the end of 2022. The project will be delivered over two construction years.
Summary of work
The final corridor plan includes many new aspects. Some of the highlights include
- Left turn from Scenic Drive to Hwy 61 is closed
- Multi-use trail from Scenic Drive into town is separated from the roadway
- Roundabout at the intersection of Hwy 61 and 7th Avenue
- Multiple protected pedestrian crossing refuges and sidewalk improvements
- Roundabout at the intersection of Hwy 61 and 11th Street
- Retain existing traffic signal at the intersection of Hwy 61 and 4th Street
- Park Road intersection improvements
- Trail connections to future Gitchi Gami Trail
