Project Overview

Sherburne County, in partnership with the City of Zimmerman and MnDOT, is currently working on advancing improvement plans for Highway 169 at County Road 4. Once the 169 Redefine project is complete, the intersection at County Road 4 (Fremont Avenue) will be the only remaining traffic signal on Highway 169 between Onamia and Interstate 94 in Rogers. The purpose of this project is to remove this signal and replace it with an intersection design that improves safety and mobility through the area for all users.

The project map to the left shows the proposed areas of improvements, as of Sept. 2023, and is subject to change. Review the approved design layout now.
