4th Street Reconstruction Project Overview
The City of Minneapolis is reconstructing 4th St. between 2nd Ave. N and 4th Ave. S in downtown Minneapolis. The reconstruction will include wider sidewalks, improved crossings, a new bi-directional off-street bike path on the north side of the street, lighting, trees, and planting beds. Construction is underway and is expected to be complete by the end of 2022.
Fourth Street Roadway Reconstruction Resumes April 2022
Roadway reconstruction work on 4th St. between 2nd Ave. N and 4th Ave. S. is tentatively scheduled to resume on Monday, April 11*. Utility work will begin in the upcoming weeks, starting with Xcel Energy working on a utility vault at the NW corner of 1st Ave. N and Hennepin Ave. Xcel Energy will be staging and occupying lanes between 2nd Ave. N and Hennepin Ave. This work is anticipated to be complete before roadway reconstruction resumes.
*Please note that construction start date is subject to change due to weather and other unforeseen circumstances.
Phase 1: Hennepin Ave. and 4th Ave. S
The first phase of reconstruction between Hennepin Ave. and 4th Ave. S is substantially complete. Crews will be returning in these blocks to review past work, make any necessary repairs and complete final restoration work.
Phase 2: 2nd Ave. N to Hennepin Ave.
Removal and reconstruction of 4th St. between 2nd Ave. N and Hennepin Ave. will begin on April 11, weather permitting. The roadway will be reconstructed one half at a time. During roadway reconstruction, local access will be maintained.
What To Expect During Construction
