County Road 112 in Long Lake and Orono
This week, crews are continuing construction of the new roadway and trail along the shoreline area between Mill Street and Cemetery Road.
Here is what you can expect this week along the shoreline area:
- Grading the new trail and roadway with gravel
- Pouring concrete for curbs and gutters
- Preparing bases and conduits for new street lights
 Installation of new concrete curbs and gutters along the Long Lake shoreline is nearing completion.
Paving next week
Crews will return next week to pave between Mill Street and Cemetery Road. Weather permitting, paving is expected to take up to three days to complete.
Access impacts on Martha Lane during paving
Residents and businesses on Martha Lane will experience intermittent closures while crews pave through Martha Lane. The closure will occur on only one of the paving days and should last no more than two hours.
During the closures, people driving can use Mill Street to access businesses and homes. People walking, biking or rolling can continue to use the trail path connecting Mill Street and Martha Lane.
Sidewalk work at Lake Street intersection
On Friday, June 29, crews are scheduled to pour colored concrete at the pedestrian curb ramp on the northwest corner of the Lake Street intersection.
First, forms will be constructed to outline where the pedestrian ramp will be poured. Then, crews will pour the concrete and let it cure.
Weather permitting, the work should only take around two days. One day is needed for the concrete work. An additional day is needed for the concrete to cure, or strengthen for regular use.
During concrete work, people walking, running and rolling will need to use adjacent sidewalks to get around.
Excavations continue
Between Old Long Lake Road and Luce Line Trail overpass
Crews are continuing excavation work along the northern half of Wayzata Boulevard between Old Long Lake Road and the Luce Line Trail overpass.
This work will cause intermittent traffic impacts this week, as large trucks will be hauling soil in and out of the work areas. Additional crews will be on site to guide traffic during the work.
Weather permitting, excavation work is expected to be complete by end of next week.
Shoulder strengthening work begins late next week
Between Birches on the Lake and Old Long Lake Road
Starting late next week, crews will be doing shoulder strengthening work along the northern half of Wayzata Boulevard between Birches on the Lake and Old Long Lake Road.
The shoulder work will provide extra strength to support traffic when traffic shifts to the northern half of Wayzata Boulevard in mid-July. Weather permitting, we anticipate this work to take up to three days to complete.
While this will not impact through traffic, there will be brief closures to driveways along the northern half of Wayzata Boulevard. Impacted residents and businesses will be notified. People will still have access to Birches on the Lake during our work.
