Everybody in our area knows that the Highway 169 / Interstate 494 interchange is the source of constant frustration and traffic delays. However, many are unaware that it is rated as the second most dangerous interchange in Minnesota. It has been this way for years, and improvements are long overdue.
This is why I was pleased that MinnDOT finally added it to a list of high-priority projects to be accomplished this year. The result should be less frustration, better traffic conditions, and–most important of all–significantly safer driving conditions.
