Round Lake Blvd (CSAH 9) from 149th Lane NW to 157th Avenue NW

Project Summary

Project Background / Description
Anoka County, in partnership with the City of Andover, is developing a preliminary layout for Round Lake Boulevard (CSAH 9) from 149th Lane NW to 157th Avenue NW, with construction scheduled for 2024. The project is in the Preliminary Development Phase, permitting, traffic analysis, geotechnical explorations, and initial design. This project will consider corridor safety, traffic accomodations, and intersection geometrics. Other project elements will include concrete curb and gutter, installation of a storm drainage system, storm water ponding and treatment, a multi-use trail, ADA enhancements, and other associated safety improvements.

Project Goals
Provided below are the project goals being considered during the design and construction phase of this project:

  • Safely accommodate all users, including motor vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists;
  • Replace aging roadway infrastructure that is at the end of its life cycle;
  • Improve storm water management and treatment;
  • Reduce impacts and avoid, where appropriate, the natural resources and wetlands adjacent to the highway corridor;
  • Develop a financially responsible design, minimizing right-of-way and environmental resource impacts;
  • Continue to secure full project funding for project delivery and construction; and
  • Provide one traffic lane in each direction during construction.
