Lane restrictions for Shady Oak Road project

Work begins this week

Starting this week, the week of June 15, Hennepin County crews plan to restrict traffic lanes on Shady Oak Road (County Road 61) between Excelsior Boulevard (County Road 3) in Minnetonka and City West Parkway in Eden Prairie for pavement work.

For this project, we are adding a protective layer to the pavement. When that work is done, crews will restripe the pavement. The existing lane configuration will remain when work is complete. 

Due to the nature of this work and the weather, the exact start and finish dates may vary. Weather permitting, this pavement work is expected to be completed within the week.

Pavement work to impact traffic  expect delays 

The majority of the work will be completed alongside traffic. This means people can continue to use the road. You should expect delays and day-to-day traffic configuration changes when traveling through the area.

Flaggers may also be on site to help guide people driving on Shady Oak Road. 

Drive safely

For your safety and the safety of our crews, we ask that you obey all posted speed limits and slow down where crews are working.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we continue project work in this area.
