 Construction Update May 23 - 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 continues. While the contractor's exact start date is still unknown, they will likely begin in early June.
Westridge Estates/Forster Preserve
Private utility work continues. The contractor plans to start clearing trees in Phase 3A (Larch Lane and west portion of Old Rockford Road) on May 29, and will continue with pavement and curb removals beginning on June 3. Curb replacement is scheduled to begin on June 6.
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. Driveway replacements are nearly complete. The contractor is continuing with irrigation repair and restoration and seeding of boulevards this week.
Weather dependent, the contractor plans to remove (reclaim) the asphalt on 45th Avenue and Hwy 169 Service Drive the week of May 28th (the contractor will not be working Memorial Day). Please expect longer delays next week as the gravel (ground up asphalt) will not be drivable until the contractor compacts it. The contractor will reclaim the road in halves to try and reduce impacts to traffic. Construction of new pavement is expected to begin June 6.
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.
