Hwy 7 interchange construction begins Oct. 1: Wooddale Avenue bridge to be constructed over Hwy 7 in St. Louis Park

 

Motorists will encounter delays on Highway 7 in St. Louis Park beginning October 1 as crews begin building retaining walls, grading and paving for a project to construct a bridge across Wooddale Avenue over Highway 7.

 

Wooddale Avenue at the intersection of Highway 7 will be closed throughout the duration of this project. A posted detour will be provided. There will also be various lane closures on Highway 7 during the project. These closures will be during non-rush hours and signs will give motorists advanced warning of any closures. No full closures of Highway 7 will take place.

 

Access to local businesses and residences in the area will be maintained throughout the duration of the project. Crews will work Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. through the fall, and into winter when weather allows. Construction will continue through all of next year.

 

The project is funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

 

By visiting www.511mn.org or dialing 5-1-1, motorists can plan their trips with the latest statewide traffic, construction, weather and travel information.
