4th Street Reconstruction Project Update - May 20

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.

What's Happening Next Week?

Roadway reconstruction continues on 4th St. between 2nd Ave. N and Hennepin Ave. Fourth St. is currently closed to vehicle traffic between 1st Ave. N and Hennepin Ave. Local access is being maintained between 2nd Ave. N and 1st Ave. N.

  • Crews have completed reconstruction of the north half of the roadway between 2nd Ave. N and 1st Ave. N. Local access will now be switched to the north side of the roadway as crews begin pavement removal and curb and gutter work on the south half of the road.
  • Roadway paving between 1st Ave N. and Hennepin Ave. is being completed, with bike paths and sidewalk construction beginning at the end of the week.
  • Crews are completing utility and hydrant work at the 1st Ave. N intersection.

*Please note that the construction schedules are subject to change due to weather and other unforeseen circumstances.

What to expect during construction?

  • During roadway construction, 4th St. will be closed to through traffic between 2nd Ave. N and Hennepin Ave. Local access will be maintained from 2nd Ave. N and 1st Ave. N. 
  • Pedestrian access will be maintained throughout construction. Be aware of your surroundings when walking on the sidewalk and biking in the roadway. 
  • Expect additional noise, dust, and vibration as crews complete work.
