Remember businesses are open and accessible. Please be patient when walking, biking, or driving in the area. There are no changes planned to traffic management in the short term. With construction comes noise, dust, traffic congestion and other construction related issues. Thanks for your patience as the project continues.

Underground utility work will be occurring in the intersection of Interlachen Blvd and Vernon Avenue. The intersection will be open to traffic, but traffic will be shifted and adjusted back and forth based on the working area. Be patient in this intersection. The Edina Grandview Liquor store will soon have new sidewalks and concrete entrance. Starting Monday, June 30, the contractor will begin removals in preparation for new concrete.

An Xcel Energy power line is in a different location than expected within the CPKC Railroad right-of-way. The power line needs to be relocated before the foundation for the west side of the Vernon Avenue Bridge can be built. The current agreements between the parties are outdated and neither party will work until the necessary agreements and permits are secured. If this is not completed in the next few weeks, it could have major impacts to the project schedule.

Discussions about closing Highway 100 on and off ramps for construction have started. The east side and west side may have different schedules. The contractor is developing a plan now for consideration. One or more ramps could close as soon as mid-July. With a closure of the northbound Highway 100 on-ramp will come construction of the noise wall.
