# Northstar Commuter Rail - Coon Rapids Station

The North Star Corridor is an 82-mile transportation corridor that runs along Highway 10 from the St. Cloud area to downtown Minneapolis. It is one of the fastest growing corridors in Minnesota and the nation. In fact, it is projected that there will be more than 850,000 people living in the corridor by 2025. Delivery of ready-mixed concrete to the site was a challenge as space was limited. Much of the site was reserved for and adjoining structure and storage of limited materials needed for construction.

**Location:**  
 Minneapolis, Minnesota **Contractor:**  
 Knutson Construction
