Brook Drive Culvert Crossing

Today, construction will begin to focus on preparation for paving the road. Depending on weather conditions, we anticipate the road to be paved by mid to late week next week. The storm sewer on the west side of the culvert will also be undergoing maintenance and repairs as construction this fall wraps up. A temporary bituminous curb will be installed to last through the winter, and the contractors will come back in the spring to install a permanent concrete curb. Thank you for your patience as this stage of construction is finalized.

We got an update from the contractor, they're planning to have the road open by 7 pm tonight. Some of the work took longer than expected. We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your continued patience.

The road across the culvert will be closed today from approximately 8:00 am to 5:00 pm to install a manhole structure. Owen Richey or the contractor have gone door-to-door to notify residents with apologies for the short notice.

The contractor will be taking garbage bins up the road for service.

Please consider parking your vehicle on Brook Drive between McGuire Road and Hillside Lane if you anticipate needing to drive during the day. Thank you for your patience.

This week, construction is focused on bank stabilization and cleanup of the project site.

We are still waiting on a gas line to be moved, and the rest of the construction work can not begin until this is done.

If the gas line is relocated, then there will likely be at least two days later this week with daily closures of the road during construction, starting at 8:00 am and ending in the evening. Please consider parking your vehicle on Brook Drive between McGuire Road and Hillside Lane on these days. We will update you again as soon as we have a set schedule for when these daily closures will take place or if anything changes. Thank you for your patience.

Construction will not be occurring this week. Currently, the plan is to begin construction again on Monday, November 11^th, after CenterPoint Energy has relocated a gas line. During the week of the 11^th, there will likely be at least two days with daily closures of the road during construction, starting at 8:00 am. Please consider parking your vehicle on Brook Drive between McGuire Road and Hillside Lane on these days. We will update you again as soon as we have a set schedule for when these daily closures will take place or if anything changes. Thank you for your patience.

Construction will not be occurring today due to rain. The road will remain open all day. Tomorrow, November 1st, the road will be closed for one hour at approximately 8:00 am. Please have your vehicle out before then if you anticipate needing to drive in the morning. Thank you!

This week, construction will be focused on removing and replacing the storm sewer to the west of the new culvert. On Tuesday, October 29^th, there will be a daytime closure of the roadway so construction can occur. The road will be open before and after construction, but you will not have driving access during the workday. Please consider parking your vehicle on Brook Drive between McGuire Rd and Hillside Ln if you anticipate needing to drive during construction. You will be able to bring your car back to your house at the end of the day. There will likely be two more daytime road closures as construction is wrapped up, and those dates will be communicated to you once they are confirmed. Thank you for your patience.

Starting at 6:30 pm October 25th, a single lane roadway will be open across the culvert. Residents can drive their vehicles back to their homes at this time. During construction next week, there will be temporary closures during the day, but the road will be open in the mornings and after work is done in the evenings. Thank you for your patience with this.

We'll provide a schedule Monday afternoon for the daily closures.

We have been tracking the weather and it is looking like Edina will receive 0.1" to 0.25" of rain this evening. We wanted to send out an update to let residents know to be alert when crossing the pedestrian bridge during and after the rain. The contractors will be widening a channel for water to flow under the bridge safely in case the streamflow increases. If you see water flowing over the bridge, do not attempt to cross, and please contact Owen Richey at 360-296-8278 and Ross Larson at 612-364-0601. Thank you.

At approximately 8:00 am on Friday, October 25th, the watermain will be shut down for the day for construction. Only the houses east of the culvert will be impacted. Water service will be interrupted, and we will send an update when service is back up and running.
