The general scope of the <br />project includes turn lanes and traffic signals at both intersections, and railroad crossing <br />widening and an active warning device installed at the 130th Street/TH61 intersection. City staff <br />has completed the plans and specifications and submitted them to MnDOT for final review and <br />approval.
