Construction Kick-off

Construction is starting soon! The preconstruction meeting for the West 72nd Street Improvements was held last week. Ryan Contracting plans to start construction the week of July 7. On site this week are private utility companies completing relocation of their utilities before the city's contractor starts work next week.

The contractor plans to complete the work in 3 phases:

Phase 1: (west of) Cornelia Drive to (east of) Glouchester Avenue

Phase 2: (east of) Glouchester Avenue to (west of) France Avenue

Phase 3: France Avenue intersection

The proposed schedule for July is as follows:

Week of July 7

• Tree removals, all phases
• Set up sanitary sewer bypass

Week of July 13

• Continue set up of sanitary sewer bypass
• Temporary water set up
• Phase 1 Removals (street, sidewalk, curb)

Week of July 20

• Phase 1 utility construction

Week of July 27

• Phase 1 utility construction

Weekly updates will be shared here the end of each week. The construction team; contractor representative or city representatives: Josh and Francis, will provide updates to individual properties if they are directly impacted by construction activities (access to property, water shutdown, etc.). Francis will be onsite daily once construction starts, please call him (763-353-2524), or approach him on site if you have construction-related questions.

Thank you for your patience during construction!
