Hennepin Avenue Downtown Reconstruction Project - April 28 Update

Hennepin Avenue Downtown Reconstruction Project

Hennepin Avenue will be reconstructed between 12th Street and Washington Avenue. The City will reconstruct the pavement from building face to building face, including improvements to public and private utility infrastructure, and improved space for pedestrians, bicycles, transit, and vehicles.


Latest Project News

Construction continues between 5th and 7th Street. The storm sewer catch basin work and new hydrant installations are now complete. New pedestrian sidewalks have been poured along the east side of the two block stretch this week and sections of special surface treatment has been completed in that pedestrian zone as well.


What's Coming Up

Next week will start to see new curb and gutter along the east side with the installation of new light bases.  Removals and new sidewalk work along the west side will begin while pedestrian circulation and access will be provide from the new sidewalk on the east side.

Construction will begin in the 7th St intersection next week with work on the north corners with new curb and new pedestrian ramps. This will require lane restriction in the 7th St intersection. Lane restriction at the other intersections will remain as is.
