Unweave the Weave
The Unweave the Weave project is a road construction project, conducted under the operations of the Minnesota Department of Transportation.〔(Minnesota Department of Transportation home page )〕 The project was done to reconstruct the interchanges of Interstate 694 and Interstate 35E in the cities of Little Canada and Vadnais Heights, Minnesota. Started in the summer of 2004, the project was completed in the fall of 2008. The amount of money put into the project totaled $120 million.
==Project overview==
This project was designed around several factors, a few of which included increasing freeway traffic capacity, increasing driver safety, and eliminating weaving and lane changes (eliminating "geometric deficiencies"), hence the name of the project, "Unweave the Weave". This weaving was the case for most drivers prior to 2005, before most of the road reconstruction work on the interchanges was done. As a result from lane changing and constant congestion, many accidents occurred on the interchange since its completion in the early 1970s.〔(Unweave the Weave Project Overview ): describes what the project is about, what the project will do, as well as provides aerial views of current design and proposed layout in 2008〕 The current layout of the two Interstates now provides for safer exits and entrances, minimal congestion, and better road surface durability. A similar project, the I-35W/US 10/I-694 North Central Corridor Reconstruction Project, aims to achieve these similar goals. The North Central project's area lies directly west of the boundaries of the 'Unweave' project denoted here.
The construction area is roughly a 3 mile region of both Interstates 694 and 35E in the northeastern portion of the Twin Cities. The work on Interstate 35E ranges from Minnesota State Highway 36 (exits 111A and B) on the south to Ramsey County Road E (CSAH 15, exit 115) on the north. The work on Interstate 694 ranges from Rice Street (CSAH 49, exit 45) on the west to U.S. Highway 61 (exit 48) on the east. Communities involved in this project include Little Canada and Vadnais Heights, as well as the neighboring communities of Shoreview, Maplewood and White Bear Lake.
The project also realigned the two interstates to improve the infrastructure of the highway from an asphalt surface to a complete concrete surface. Numerous bridges were rebuilt, including the residential streets of Edgerton Street and Labore Road in Vadnais Heights.
