Will 16th Street SW remain open to traffic during construction of the North Project?
Yes and no, depending on the corridor segment:
- The segment from 7th Ave SW to 5th Ave SW is expected to be closed with traffic detoured.
- Residents with direct access to 16th St SW must temporarily park on side streets.
- The 16th St SW bridge over the Mouse River will remain open to traffic as much as possible, depending on the intersection options selected at 7th Ave SW and 5th Ave SW.
Will you need additional right of way/easements from my property for the North Project?
ROW needs for the North Project will be determined once the Preferred Alternative/Options are selected for that project at a future date (TBD).
