What is the crew’s progress? 

In the month of June, a CenterPoint Energy authorized contractor, Michels Corporation, anticipates closing the following lanes or roads along Minnetonka Boulevard to install a new large-diameter natural gas steel main:

In the weeks of Monday, June 3 and Monday, June 10, County Road 25 will be reduced to one lane between France Avenue and Minnetonka Boulevard (County Road 5). During this time, Glenhurst Avenue will be close between County Road 25 and Minnetonka Boulevard. The crews will close a lane on Minnetonka Boulevard between Glenhurst Avenue and Inglewood Avenue. The crews will close Inglewood Avenue in the middle of the intersection of Inglewood Avenue and Minnetonka Boulevard. Two-way traffic will remain open on Minnetonka Boulevard.

In the week of Monday, June 17, the middle of the intersection of Inglewood Avenue and Minnetonka Boulevard will remain closed. Minnetonka Boulevard will be reduced to two lanes, one in each direction, from Inglewood Avenue to Lynn Avenue. The entrances and exits to All Care Dentistry and Starbucks will remain open except onto Minnetonka Boulevard.

In the week of Monday, June 24, the crew will close the northwestern portion of the intersection of France Avenue and Minnetonka Boulevard. During this time, drivers heading south on France Avenue will be detoured to Sunset Boulevard and Inglewood Avenue to Minnetonka Boulevard. The driving entrances and exits to and from Mulberry’s Dry Cleaners and Laundry will remain open. The sidewalks will remain open in this area.
