National Park Service Issues Mile Creek Road Realignment and Bridge Construction Environmental Assessment
February 2, 2023 · Source: National Park Service
Cook County, Minnesota and the Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa (Ojibwe), in partnership with the Grand Portage National Monument, propose to realign a segment of Mile Creek Road/County State Aid Highway 17 and construct a new bridge across Grand Portage Creek. The purpose of this EA is to evaluate the potential impacts of constructing a new bridge across Grand Portage Creek to reduce the hazard caused by a blind curve, eliminate traffic and plowing impacts on an existing historic bridge, and increase pedestrian access.
