New I-94 and Highway 10 Interregional Connection Bridge

The New I-94 and Highway 10 Interregional Connection Bridge is a proposed bridge that will span the Mississippi River near Clearwater, Minnesota. The existing two-lane Highway 24 Bridge serves as a major route for weekend recreational traffic transferring between Interstate 94 and U.S. Route 10. As such, it is badly over capacity and congestion is predicted to worsen on weekdays as the area becomes developed. To relieve congestion, a new freeway connection is proposed. Construction is currently proposed for the 2015-2023 timeframe, but may be sped up as this is considered a high priority project and more funding for transportation projects has recently become available due to a Minnesota gasoline tax increase. It is not known if this crossing will carry the MN 24 designation or a different number, as the present highway between Clear Lake and Clearwater would undoubtedly be transferred to the local jurisdiction.

    Morality becomes hypocrisy if it means accepting mothers’ suffering or dying in connection with unwanted pregnancies and illegal abortions and unwanted children.
    Gro Harlem Brundtland (b. 1939)

    Oh, who will now be able to relate how Pantagruel behaved in face of these three hundred giants! Oh my muse, my Calliope, my Thalie, inspire me now, restore my spirits, because here is the ass’s bridge of logic, here is the pitfall, here is the difficulty of being able to describe the horrible battle undertaken.
    François Rabelais (1494–1553)
