Residents and commuters are gearing up for changes as the 2024 Cedar Lake Road project progresses, with Eureka Construction actively working on upgrades in St. Louis Park. According to a recent update from the City of St. Louis Park, Cedar Lake Road between Jordan Avenue and Virginia Circle is now closed to through traffic. Detours have been posted to guide drivers around the construction, and special access instructions have been provided for local institutions like Westwood Lutheran Church and Park Spanish Immersion School.
The ongoing development, which has entered the middle stage, necessitates the road closure to ensure the safety of construction workers and the public. Access to Park Spanish Immersion School is to be from the west via Highway 169, with a detailed map on the city's project website for reference. Meanwhile, as reported on September 11th, access to the middle school on Texas Avenue remains open, but with the east stage set to begin on September 23, upcoming detours are imminent.
For the neighborhoods flanking the west and middle stages, the majority of school buses will reroute via Wayzata Blvd and Texas Avenue. However, a few buses will navigate through Virginia Circle to cater to residents, as per the City of St. Louis Park. At this phase, Eureka Construction is focusing on finalizing the restoration efforts and installation of roadway necessities in the west stage, including signage and flashing beacons.
Full details on the construction impact, work schedule, and staged planning can be found on the city’s project page, which provides further insight into what residents and travelers can expect throughout the improvement process.
