Intermittent side street entrance closures during utility and grading work

Traffic shifts Friday
Starting at 9 a.m. on Friday, September 29, both directions of Wayzata Boulevard traffic will shift to the southern half.
It will take longer to travel through the area during the traffic change. For your safety and the safety of our crews, obey all posted speed limits, and watch for construction signs and crews.
Construction along the northern half begins
Once the traffic shift is completed, crews will begin reconstructing the northern half. Reconstruction is expected to last through the fall.
Please be aware that crews will be using large construction equipment, which will create noise and slight vibrations.
Project to monitor vibrations
The project will be monitoring the vibrations caused by removals downtown along the northern half in order to minimize impacts to surrounding buildings during construction.
Pedestrian access to businesses downtown
Crews will work to maintain access for pedestrians, including to get to local businesses, during the construction process.
There will be times where intermittent sidewalk closures and delays will occur for underground utility work.
