Construction Update - All Timelines Are Weather Dependent
Mapledell
Private utility work (CenterPoint, Xcel, Comcast, etc.) continues. CenterPoint has completed their mainline work and will continue connecting home services to the mainline for the next 2-3 weeks.
These utilities are being relocated because they are either in the way of the city’s proposed infrastructure or because their maintenance cycles are in alignment with the project. This work will be primarily within the street right of way, however, there may be some work within side yard and backyard easements.
The city’s contractor for this project, Northwest Asphalt, is hoping to begin as soon as the private utility work is completed. While the contractor’s exact start day is still unknown, they will likely begin in late May or June.
Heritage/Medicine Lake Highlands Private utility work is continuing. While the contractor's exact start day is still unknown, they will likely begin in late May or early June.
Westridge Estates/Forster Preserve Private utility work is continuing. While the contractor's exact start day is still unknown, they will likely begin in late May or early June.
Nathan Lane, Schmidt Lake Road, 45th Avenue, Hwy 169 Service Drive
The contractor is primarily working on the Highway 169 Service Drive and 45th Avenue sections. The first half of driveway are almost complete. The contractor is hoping to finish the second half of driveways, irrigation repairs and restoration, and prepare the road for asphalt removal the week of May 20.
Weather dependent, the contractor plans to remove (reclaim) the asphalt on 45th Avenue and the Hwy 169 Service Drive the week of May 28. (They will not be working on Memorial Day). Please expect longer delays as the gravel (ground up asphalt) will not be drivable until the contractor compacts it. The contractor will reclaim the road one half at at a time to try and reduce impacts.
The city’s construction inspector, Moe Omer, will be onsite regularly during construction and is available to answer questions. His contact information is momer@plymouthmn.gov or (763) 509-5529.
