3. Highway 169, Champlin
Project need (E. Hayden Lake Rd/Co. Rd 121 to Mississippi River)
Deterioration under the northbound and southbound Hwy 169 bridge decks over Elm Creek (the Mill Pond) required MnDOT to place weight limits on both bridges from April 16 to December 3, 2015.
After emergency repairs to shore up the bridge decks, restrictions were removed, although the shoulders of the bridge remain closed.
The city of Champlin, and MnDOT developed a project to replace the two bridges and make other improvements on Hwy 169 between East Hayden Lake Rd and the Mississippi River.
