Hwy 5 St. Paul to Maplewood project area map.
About this project
We completed improvements to Hwy 5/Minnehaha Ave. and Stillwater Rd. in St. Paul and Maplewood, including road resurfacing, sidewalk repairs, pedestrian lighting, bus stop improvements and more.
Additional work
In spring 2026, we will replant 367 trees along the project area. These trees will be better selected for the area and will include native species, salt and drought-tolerant species, and trees that are the right size for boulevards and nearby power poles.
In 2023, 246 trees were removed before construction because they were diseased, in poor health or would otherwise not survive construction.
Summary of work
- Road resurfaced from North Mendota St. to Century Ave in St. Paul and Maplewood
- Curb extensions at key intersections to shorten crossings and improve safety
- Smooth sidewalks to replace cracked, heaving and uneven surfaces
- Repaired driveway aprons for a smooth transition from the road
- New pedestrian lighting and traffic signals
