Visit the Hwy 63 and Co. Rd. 112 construction website to see the most recent updates. This public engagement website shares the planning background.

Construction is scheduled to begin June 2, 2025 and it is expected to be completed by September.

We are building a roundabout at the intersection of Hwy 63 (75th Street Northwest) and Olmsted Co. Rd. 112 to reduce crashes and improve driver safety in the area. This is an intersection with two highway-speed roadways. Stop signs control traffic on Co. Rd. 112. At times, drivers become impatient because of limited gaps in traffic. This has led to a sustained history of crashes.

Building a roundabout at the intersection will help reduce dangerous driving behavior and the number of crashes by improving traffic flow.

Benefits of a roundabout

• Significantly reduces the risk of serious and fatal crashes
  • Roundabouts show an 86% decrease in fatal crashes and an 83% decrease in life-altering injury crashes
• Allows drivers to get through the intersection more safely and in less time
  • Roundabouts handle high levels of traffic with less delay than most stop signs or signals
• Slows traffic to make entering and exiting the area easier for all users
  • Entry curves in the approach will slow traffic entering
