Hennepin Avenue Downtown Reconstruction Project - May 26 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 Pavement continues to be poured this past week between 5th and 7th Streets.  Additional lanes are being reconstructed in the 7th Street intersection as well.

Lane and partial intersection closures will continue

On Phase II north of 5th St, the planter rail installation has begun. 

What's Coming Up

The last portion of the 7th Street intersection will get poured next week to allow an additional lane of traffic through the intersection. Preparations are being made for the LRT shutdown at 5th St with pavement removals and conduit work in anticipation for the weekend concrete paving work.

Local access to the 5th-6th driveways will change next week with entrance and exit to 6th St.

Single lane traffic will remain at 7th through next week as well.
