- New I-94 and Highway 10 Interregional Connection Bridge

Highway 24 Bridge Crosses Mississippi River Locale East of Clearwater, Minnesota Maintained by Minnesota Department of Transportation Opened 2015? The New I-94 and Highway 10 Interregional Connection Bridge is a proposed bridge that will span the Mississippi River near Clearwater, Minnesota. The existing two-lane Highway 24 Bridge serves as a major route for weekend recreational traffic transferring between Interstate 94 and US Highway 10. As such, it is badly over capacity and congestion is predicted to worsen on weekdays as the area becomes developed. To relieve congestion, a new freeway connection is proposed. Construction is currently proposed for the 2015-2023 timeframe, but may be sped up as this is considered a high priority project and more funding for transportation projects has recently become available due to a Minnesota gasoline tax increase. It is not known if this crossing will carry the MN 24 designation or a different number, as the present highway between Clear Lake and Clearwater would undoubtedly be transferred to the local jurisdiction.
