Minnetonka motorists, get ready to adjust your commute: roadwork is on the horizon. According to information from the City of Minnetonka, Hennepin County will be implementing resurfacing work on sections of Shady Oak Road (County 63) and County Road 101 beginning August 14. The necessitated labor will see crews diligently working on one side of the road at a time, in a bid to minimize the interruptions which are the daily grind of any thoroughfare rehabilitation project.
For drivers navigating these stretches, it will be critical to be on the lookout for flaggers who, while directing cars under the guidance of a pilot car, will ensure traffic moves safely through the project area. The City of Minnetonka's announcement cautions commuters to plan for alternating turns and to exercise care while the work zones are active. With the work zones bustling with activity, motorists should be prepared for some slowdown.
Specifically, the resurfacing is slated for Shady Oak Road between Excelsior Boulevard and south of Cottage Lane, as well as County Road 101 from Excelsior Boulevard up to Townline Road/West 62nd Street. Provided the weather doesn't decide to throw a wrench in the works, the project is scheduled to run from Wednesday, August 14, through Monday, August 19.
For those with questions or in need of further details on the resurfacing project, contact point Caleb Brolsma can be reached at 612-600-2462. Offering a window into the project's scope and potentially easing the burden of disrupted routines, communication remains a foundation, ensuring the public remains informed and prepared for their journeys during these infrastructural improvements.
