Construction Alerts Along This Route:
Minnesota River Bluffs LRT Regional Trail<br />Hennepin County is
working on Shady Oak Road, and a new bridge over the regional trail is
being built. The project includes a temporary underpass for the trail,
so the trail will be open much of the time. However, the underpass will
be closed when certain hazardous work is being done (such as
demolition, pile driving, etc.). A detour will be necessary some of the
time, and the route will be marked. The project is expected to be
completed in 2009.
_______________________________
The SWLRT underpass under 494 has also been subject to frequent construction closings. This is easily bypased by continuing to Rowland and coming back south to the trail.
