County Road 112 in Long Lake and Orono
On Monday, October 15, we will close Wayzata
Boulevard (County Road 112) to through traffic between Wolf Pointe Trail and
Wayzata Boulevard West. This is the last scheduled full closure for this phase
of Wayzata Boulevard reconstruction.
There will be access for local traffic, but the road
will be completely closed approximately 200 feet east and west of the Luce Line
Trail overpass. We need to close the road to safely and efficiently replace
utility crossings located underneath the road and reconstruct the road.
The
Luce Line Trail will remain open during this work.
We expect this work to take up to 12 calendar days to
complete and reopen to traffic on Friday, October 26. Due to the nature of the work and the weather, the schedule is
subject to change.
 Map of the closure and construction area
Detour for the full closure
During the closure, signs will guide people to the detour using Highway 12.
Due to the nature of the work, the geography of the area and the levels of traffic local streets are designed for, all motor vehicle traffic will need to use the official detour.
Using the detour will keep our crews safe. It will also keep you from experiencing delays and getting frustrated. And it keeps the neighborhood traffic safer for the individuals and families who live, work and play in the area.
We appreciate your cooperation and understanding.

Shoreline area
reconstruction wrapping up
In
October, crews will wrap up final construction activities along the shoreline
area between Martha Lane and Wolf Pointe Trail.
Weather
permitting, final construction activities over the next month will include:
- Constructing a trail crossing
to connect the Long Lake City and shoreline trails.
- Paving the final layer of
asphalt between Martha Lane and Wolf Pointe Trail.
- Constructing the Long Lake
monument signs at Brown Road and Long Lake City Trail.
-
Striping permanent traffic
lines.
-
Landscaping with grass.
During
the construction of the trail crossing and final paving, please anticipate
traffic impacts with road configuration changes and intermittent lane
closures.
Please
give yourself extra time to travel through the area. For your safety and
the safety of our crews, we ask that you slow down and follow the instructions
of our crews and signage.
Minor sidewalk repairs
scheduled
Within
the next two to three weeks, crews will repair damaged panels of sidewalks
between Brown Road (County Road 146) and Martha Lane.
Weather
permitting, it will take up to two days in order for crews to remove the
damaged panels, form and pour the new concrete.
People walking and
rolling should expect intermittent access impacts where crews are working.
However, we will keep at least one side of the sidewalks open at all
times.
