Hennepin Avenue Downtown Reconstruction Project - May 13 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

Concrete work continues on Phase 3 of the project between 5th and 7th Streets. This week brought more sidewalk installation and some bike lane concrete segments as well as curb and gutter. Intersection work at 7th has begun and will continue over the coming weeks.

What's Coming Up

The 7th Street intersection will remain down to one lane of traffic as concrete paving occurs next week.  Concrete curb, sidewalks, and bike lanes will continue to take shape over the next couple weeks.  And work will begin at 5th Street in preparation for the LRT shutdown in early June.

Spring plantings will begin next week from 5th to Washington.
