Hennepin Avenue Downtown Reconstruction Project - May 6 Update

Hennepin Ave. 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 sidewalks and curbs are installed along the West side of the two block stretch from 5th to 7th St.

The storm sewer and hydrant work was completed this week as well.

What's Coming Up

Next week will bring more concrete sidewalk and curb along the West side as well as some bike lane concrete along the east side.

Major construction in the 7th Street intersection will begin mid next week.  This will reduce traffic down to a single lane thru the intersection.  Expect delays.  This will remain in this configuration for approximately 2-weeks.

Additional closures along 5th St from Hennepin to 1st Ave will also be implemented next week.
