Washington County has received federal funding to reconstruct County State Aid
Highway (CSAH) 8/14 between I -35E in Lino Lakes, Anoka County, and Trunk Highway
61 in Hugo. As part of the project an alternative analysis, studying alignment
alternatives along Main Street connecting with TH 61 was prepared. Four potential
alignments through the City of Hugo were reviewed as part of the process including
140th Street, 142nd Street, 145th Street (the existing alignment), and 147th Street.

impacts of the proposed project including the alignment alternatives. However,

eliminated from further study because of environmental impacts, right-of-way and
