Location <br /> The junction of Minnesota Trunk Highway(TH)371 at Crow Wing County State Aid Highway(CSAH) <br /> 29/Wilderness Road is located in the City of Pequot Lakes, MN.The roadway is a four-lane expressway with an <br /> Average Annual Daily Traffic(AADT)of 10,700 and a Heavy Commercial Average Annual Daily Traffic(HCAAT)of <br /> 660.The speed limit on TH 371 at this intersection is 65 miles per hour and the speed limit on CSAH 29 and <br /> Wilderness Road is statutory 55 miles per hour. Prior to 2016-2017,TH 371 was a conventional two-lane two- <br /> way roadway. <br /> Existing Conditions <br /> The intersection of TH 371of CSAH 29/Wilderness Road was reconstructed with SP 1809-92 which expanded the <br /> roadway to the current four-lane expressway.This project was a Design-Build project with the construction done <br /> by Mathiowetz Construction Company and the highway design by WSB&Associates. <br /> TH 371 is on a curve at CSAH 29/Wilderness due to the presence of West Twin Lake, Lake Edna, Lower Cullen <br /> Lake,and a wetland area in the southeast quadrant of the intersection (see Figure 1). During preliminary design, <br /> there was discussion to remove/smooth out part of this curve by constructing the new TH 371 alignment over <br /> the wetland area.The wetland impact was found to be too great and ultimately the roadway was to remain and <br /> expand on the previous alignment. <br /> �,� <br /> �_„ <br /> �� <br /> ; � <br /> ,R <br /> i4' �' <br /> �: <br /> � <br /> �It�i <br /> � �9 � � 1 <br /> 1 �II <br /> 3;1 . <br /> Figure 1: TH 371 alignment at CSAH 29/Wilderness Rd <br /> TH 371 at CSAH 29 Intersection Evaluation 3 <br />
