Cedar Avenue Construction Chats
No construction chats are scheduled at this time.
About this Project Bus rapid transit along Cedar Avenue involves roadway improvements and construction. These improvements will create bus only shoulder lanes and change access to make travel safer for all.
Cedar Avenue construction will take place between 181st Street in Lakeville and 138th Street in Apple Valley. Work will also take place on portions of many of the side roads. Work will include widening Cedar Avenue to accommodate bus only shoulder lanes, extending six-lane thru traffic to south of County Road 46, adding additional turn lanes, building retaining and noise walls, updating public utilities (storm sewer, water main, and sanitary sewer), relocating private utilities, upgrading signal systems and streetscaping.
Relocation of private utilities began on Tuesday, Sept. 7, 2010. The construction contract (for all 3 segments) was awarded in January 2011. The majority of construction in the middle and southern sections will occur in 2011. Construction of the northern section is scheduled for 2012. Project completion will be in summer 2013.
