Minnewashta Parkway Improvement Project
Overview
This project is being constructed in 2020 and 2021. The project limits within Chanhassen will extend from Hwy. 7 into the City of Victoria and end at West 77th Street. The roadway section between West 77th Street and Hwy. 5 was recently improved by MNDot and does not require rehabilitation. Hence, the entire street length between Hwy. 7 and Hwy. 5 will be improved by the end of the project.
The project includes replacement of water main, and new water services to the curb stop/box near the property lines. Gate valves and hydrants are also being replaced. Sanitary sewer, and stormwater piping system repairs are being made as necessary. The forcemains from the two lift stations along the corridor are also being replaced. Surface water improvements to some of the storm water ponds are also included. The retaining walls within the public right-of-way are being improved as needed. The trails and accessibility improvements are being improved. The existing curb and gutter will be reviewed during construction and spot replacements will be done as needed. Drain tile is being added in select areas to improve the drainage of the street's support layer.
Due to the extent of the improvements and to provide reasonable access to the area, the project is divided into two phases. The first phase was completed in 2020, and the second phase will cover the northern half in 2021. The project was able to justify to MnDOT that a temporary signal light at the intersection with Hwy 5 is warranted in 2021, to assist with the additional traffic that will be directed to the intersection.
As a result of the Arboretum Area Transportation Plan (AATP), additional traffic studies will be done as part of the Trunk Highway 5 expansion project. See below. The next step for that project is estimated to begin in the fall of 2021, once funding in secured.

Project Notification Disclaimer |
---|
Due to the variability of construction, updates typically do not include specific details such as day-to-day scheduled activity. The City's inspector or contractor will notify occupants directly if they will be impacted by a utility service shut down (example: water shutoff), or work (such as excavation or new curb) that will impede access to the property for a period of hours or days. |
