West River Parkway Slope Repair Project Update

Via a May 6 Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board e-newsletter:
Repairs on track to wrap up in July; parkway, trails remain closed until Franklin Avenue Bridge reopens this fall
The West River Parkway Slope Repair project is expected to be complete at the end of July 2016. However, West River Parkway and the adjacent trails will remain closed from 4th Street South to 25th Street South until Hennepin County reopens the Franklin Avenue Bridge, which closes to all traffic May 8 and is scheduled to reopen this fall.
We understand the extended closure of West River Parkway has frustrated and inconvenienced many Minneapolis residents and park users and we appreciate the public's patience while work is performed on this extraordinarily challenging project.
See Project page for updates on the remaining work schedule and project history.
