Attention St. Louis Park residents and commuters: the Cedar Lake Road construction project is in full swing, with the current focus on the West Stage causing significant traffic disruptions. According to the St. Louis Park, Minnesota, Cedar Lake Road is closed to through traffic between Jordan Avenue and Westwood Lutheran Church's east driveway, a condition that started on June 10 and is expected to last until July 31 if the weather cooperates.
For those seeking alternate routes, the city has posted a detour to navigate around the construction, which encompasses steps in replacing and updating the area's water, storm, and sanitary systems—the water main replacement is already complete, and the replacement of sanitary and storm sewer structures should wrap up by the end of this week, work on grading the street is set to continue through July 15, and then, jumping to the installation of electrical conduit for the street lighting has commenced and will stretch over the next two to three weeks, as per the St. Louis Park, Minnesota. While the contractor, Eureka Construction, presses on with these improvements, private utility companies are also in the mix, relocating services that may prompt further road-shoulder and sidewalk closures.
To stay informed about the scope of work and impacts, the city encourages residents to look at the 2024 Cedar Lake Road Improvements Newsletter and visit the project's dedicated website; while the city apologizes for any inconvenience the construction may bring.
