The Mesabi Daily News reports that costs and the immense value of the ore seem to be driving the project toward a dramatic re-imagination from how most people know this important Iron Range thoroughfare.
West route for new Highway 53 now back on table
One response to “West route for new Highway 53 now back on table”
Hwy. 37 will be the cheapest cost. Around $60M. vrs. A bridge thru the Rosheau pit for $400M. or more. This bridge will break the bank in costs. $400M is only for the bridge, plus the new roadway. Never going to happen. Thank the decision makers who were stupid to have built a freeway on leased land.
