Hennepin Avenue Downtown Reconstruction Project - August 4 Update

Hennepin Avenue Downtown Reconstruction Project

Hennepin Ave. 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

The Hennepin Construction is winding down for the season and Hennepin will reopen this Friday with a single lane in each direction.  All the concrete has been poured and now the focus turns to installing signals and lighting.  The last of the sidewalk areas were poured this week and some of the signal poles were installed as well. 

What's Coming Up

Over the next few weeks the remaining signal and light poles will be installed and begin to be wired.  Planting beds will be prepped and landscape items will start to be installed in late August. r the next few weeks the remaining signal and light poles will be installed and begin to be wired.  Planting beds will be prepped and landscape items will start to be installed in late August.
