Progress is being made on several key construction projects in Carver County.
Highways 41/10 (Engler Boulevard) in Chaska: Visible updates include curb installation, trail preparation, irrigation and light base installation. Pavement was poured over much of the current project near the Engler Boulevard and Bavaria Road intersection (which will be the first of four roundabouts). As other work is finished— barring further weather delays—that intersection is likely to open around June 13 (though the east leg will remain closed).
Water main work will occur along White Oak Drive, likely beginning June 10 along northbound White Oak Drive and switching to the south on June 12.
Around June 16, construction will shift with closures at White Oak Drive and Highway 41 (Chestnut Drive) along Engler Boulevard through late summer. A median at northbound Highway 41 (Chestnut Street) will open with this next phase.
Highways 212 and 5 in Chanhassen: On June 9, work will begin between Eden Prairie Road and I494. Crews will be resurfacing shoulders and replacing guardrails along Highways 212 and 5. Lane closures will occur intermittently on both highways.
Also beginning June 9, the ramp from Mitchell Road to westbound Highway 5 will be closed through early July.
Highway 101 bridge maintenance (Chanhassen and Chaska): Extensive maintenance is underway on the Highway 101 bridge between Highway 61 (Flying Cloud Drive) in Chanhassen and the Minnesota River Boat Launch and Archery Park in Shakopee. Traffic is reduced to one lane in each direction through early July.
Highway 17 (Powers Boulevard and West 78th Street) in Chanhassen: Crews continue work on curb and pedestrian ramp replacements, focusing on the east side of the intersection. Expect lane closures as the project progresses.
Highway 11 (Victoria Drive) near Carver County Reserve in Victoria: The road is closed from just south of the Carver Park Reserve campground entrance to Wisteria Street near Lake Auburn Church.
The reserve remains open and accessible from the north where visitors can access the nature center, campground, singletrack trails, horse trails and archery range.
