Beginning Monday, July 1, Fourth Street will be reduced to one lane between Oak Street and 15th Avenue SE. Traffic will be shifted to the south side of Fourth Street while crews work in the two lanes on the north side of the street. This will be in place through mid-August.
The traffic shift and lane reduction will allow crews to prioritize work on Fourth Street near University facilities. By accelerating this area in July, the county hopes to minimize the traffic impacts for U of M activities and athletic events when the fall semester begins.
On-street parking won't be available in the single lane area between Oak Street and 15th Avenue SE. Plan ahead to park in nearby ramps or on cross streets.
Expect delays when traveling in the construction area. Plan an alternative route or allow extra time.
People walking and biking will be provided with a detour around the work area.
