Plan for Hiawatha Ave./Minnehaha Ave. intersection restrictions starting Sept. 19

This week, construction crews began traffic signal upgrades along Hiawatha Ave. This work will take place through early October.

Beginning at 5 a.m. Mon, Sept. 19, the Hiawatha Ave./Minnehaha Ave. intersection will be partially closed for traffic signal repairs through 10 p.m. on Fri, Sept. 23. Motorists traveling on Minnehaha Ave. will be detoured to 54th St. to cross and to make turns onto Hiawatha Ave.

Then beginning at 5 a.m. Mon, Sept. 26, the Hiawatha Ave./38th St. intersection will be partially closed for traffic signal replacement through early October. Motorists traveling on 38th St. will be detoured to 35th St. to cross and to make turns onto Hiawatha Ave.

Expect intermittent lane closures near these intersections when work is occurring to give crews space access each work zone. Watch for equipment and construction vehicles in the area.

Pedestrian and bicycle access

Pedestrians and bicyclists should follow the posted detours to cross Hiawatha Ave. when the traffic signal upgrades are in progress. All intersections will remain accessible during this work.

3rd Street/Washington Avenue access

• As a reminder, the ramp from northbound Hiawatha Ave. to 3rd St./Washington Ave. is closed through early October. Motorists will be detoured northbound on I-35W to 4th St./University Ave.
• Beginning at 10 p.m. Mon, Sept. 19, the ramp from northbound I-35W to 3rd St./Washington Ave. will be closed through 5 a.m. Tue, Sept. 20. Motorists will be detoured to 4th St./University Ave.

These timeframes are all approximate, subject to change, and weather and schedule permitting.
