Latest Project News

 

Both Public and Private Utility construction continues throughout the corridor.  This work is continuing to be more and more as we go through the season. Traffic lane restrictions will continue on Hennepin Ave. as well as the cross-streets. The 9th Street intersection will be re-opened this week as the Sewer contractor completed the pipe crossing.  CenterPoint Energy has began some of their work north of 5th Street heading north toward Washtington Ave.  Centerpoint and Xcel will be working within the same lane closures on Hennepin.

What's Coming Up 

7th Street will remain reduced at Hennepin for the following weeks.  9th Street will have 2-lanes open this week. 10th street will be reduced significantly to cross street traffic starting 9/3.  Expect delays. 10th St will then be closed to cross traffic starting 9/7 through 9/14.

Xcel and Centerpoint continue their work on the north end of the project between 5th and Washington.  The City Sewer contractor continues work at 9th and progressing south, while Xcel is continuing their work at 7th St.  Xcel will continue to head south along the corridor to 12th.
