Cedar Avenue repaving

Hennepin County is planning to repave Cedar Avenue between Washington Avenue (County Road 122) and 20th Avenue South. As part of the repaving project, Hennepin County is improving comfort and safety for all people traveling along the corridor.

Project information

Cedar Avenue serves as a main connector for the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood, the University of Minnesota west bank campus, Augsburg University and traffic accessing I-35W and I-94.

Work for this project includes:

• Reconstructing curb ramps to be more accessible and easier to use, compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) 
• Changing the striping from South 6th Street to 20th Avenue South, including under the I-94 bridge, to add a center left turn lane, one travel lane in each direction and a parking lane or shoulder space. This change will improve safety and mobility for road users while keeping existing parking.

Projects like this typically begin with intersection work, then pavement work and finish with restriping.
