The project does currently include operational improvements south of 92nd Street, with a new southbound lane ending at Emmons Street, and a new northbound lane beginning just south of 92nd Street. This work will significantly improve traffic operations at the M-37/92nd Street intersection.
The need for additional operational improvements is reduced to the south of 92nd Street, as many vehicles turn off to side streets north of 92nd Street and traffic volumes decrease toward the south.
MDOT’s budget is limited and does not include funding for additional improvements outside of the current project limits at this time. This project will not preclude future improvements.
