There was also decent pavement markings, not to mention pavement.

They've done the same thing to the US 61 4-lane stretch from Wabasha southwards. I've seen this used a lot in the Michigan U.P. as well.

Here's the city of Blaine's project website. Near the bottom is a zoomable aerial image that shows the preferred alternative.

MnDOT's study suggests that they're looking at a right-in-only southbound and a right-out-only northbound at 89th, with the opposite at 85th and an overpass at 87th.

MnDOT's study looked at 4 alternatives at CSAH 10: a diamond interchange on 65 (signals on 10), a diamond interchange on 10 (signals on 65), a continuous-flow intersection (or "displaced left turns", if you will), and what they called a "signalized rotary"...think of 2 sets of one-way roads crossing each other at-grade with signals. The diamond interchange on 10 and the "signalized rotary" are the alternatives currently being considered.

Coming back from my friend's cabin in Crosby, there was some sort of detour for 23 west of Milaca.
There was a detour sign near Pease directing people to follow 169.
And the detour sign for 169 was using an Interstate shield for 169. :no:

--- Quote from: kphoger on January 05, 2023, 09:21:08 AM ---Kind of funny, considering cloverleafs/cloverleaves are no longer considered to be the panacea they once were.
Though I must say, whenever I encounter a huge traffic jam in the Twin Cities, I can always count on being able to turn around by way of the next cloverleaf—simply by using three of the four loop ramps. That comes in handy.

I noticed in Houston County, MnDOT owns a significant amount of ROW abutting TH 26, any idea why? Seems like far more ROW than would be necessary for just the existing roadway, unless MnDOT possess it because properties were landlocked or something?
