U.S. Highway 169, known as the Cross Range Expressway, is the primary freight and passenger highway connection between Grand Rapids, Hibbing, and Virginia. This seventy mile distance was completed to a four lane divided highway between the 1960s and 1994, except for approximately 9.5 miles between Coleraine and Pengilly which was left as two lane undivided highway. Four miles were completed more recently, still leaving 8.4 miles of undivided two lane highway sandwiched between four lane divided

Oslo Region Joint Powers

The Red River of the North, bordering MN and ND, is extremely susceptible to spring and summer flooding events, overtopping roads and rail transportation, and inundating farmland. This disrupts traffic by closing I-29 and all highway access through Oslo, MN on MN Hwy 1, and to ND Hwy 54, a trunk highway connecting northern Minnesota to I-29. The floods also halts rail commerce and the delivery of agricultural products to market. Project includes reductions to the overbank upstream from Oslo to r

FY 22 funds would allow for immediately constructing small-scale navigation efficiency improvements and ecosystem restoration projects that will provide tremendous ecological and economic benefits to the region as well as complete design work for at least one new 1,200-foot lock chamber to begin modernizing the system. Ecosystem restoration measures would occur in all five Upper Mississippi Basin states. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers estimates the creation of nearly 50 million man-hours of

This facility will provide renewable energy to 3200 homes. This will allow less capacity to serve local load and increase the probabilities of reliability related outages and poor power quality. The combination of solar with Energy Storage System (ESS) back up can stabilize the grid in a clean and environmentally responsible manner.
