It’s almost that time of year to prepare for what to expect this summer as construction projects kick into gear.
2024 Pavement Management Program (PMP)
The 2024 PMP will reconstruct 1.17 miles of street in the neighborhood south of Medicine Lake Rd, west of Winnetka Ave. The project will upgrade underground infrastructure (sanitary sewer, water main, and storm sewer) and install a new sidewalk on Duluth St to connect Winnetka Ave to General Mills Nature Area. Work will begin in spring and is expected to end in fall.
Hwy 55 Lift Station Replacement
The project will replace the sanitary sewer lift station west of Schaper Park and relocate it out of the floodplain it is currently in. Work will occur from summer to fall.
Adair Ave Water Main Rehabilitation
Crews will replace the water main system on Adair Ave near Duluth starting in early summer and ending in fall. Expect minor traffic impacts and temporary water outages during the project.
County Projects
Hennepin County will apply pavement preservation product to Douglas Dr (Cty Rd 102) and the west end of Duluth St (Cty Rd 66) this summer. The process is expected to last a few days and will require some traffic closures. More information will be provided when available.
MnDOT Projects
The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) will resurface Hwy 55 from General Mills Blvd to Old Rockford Rd in Plymouth. Most of the project area is located in Plymouth, but there will be some traffic impacts in Golden Valley. Directional and weekend closures are needed to complete the work.
