Drivers in Brooklyn Park should brace for potential delays as Hennepin County crews wrap up repaving work on West Broadway. According to a bulletin from the county, the road work is scheduled for completion on Monday, November 3, and Tuesday, November 4, weather permitting. The affected stretch is between Lakeland Avenue North and the Goodwill driveway, awaiting its final touches after an earlier project phase, which resurfaced West Broadway from Bottineau Boulevard to Cloverdale Avenue.
Commuters should expect the road to be reduced to one lane in each direction in the work zone, with flaggers present to direct the flow of traffic. The brief inconvenience is the price of progress, and drivers are urged to be vigilant, reduce speed, and allocate extra time for travel during these two days. Mistakes can happen, and so can traffic jams—so it's best to be prepared.
The earlier project, which covered a significant portion of West Broadway through Brooklyn Park, Crystal, and New Hope, was part of the county’s maintenance efforts to improve road conditions and safety for its residents. Preserving infrastructure is key, but it often comes with the unavoidable reality of temporary disruptions, such as this one.
For those seeking more information or looking to inquire further about the road work, Hennepin County encourages residents to reach out via email at [email protected]. Your patience and cooperation are essential as the county ensures a smoother ride for all. Remember to stay alert, slow down, and plan for a bit extra travel time – words to drive by any day, but particularly when navigating through a work zone.
