2025 construction overview
This year, we will replace Minnetonka Boulevard between Inglewood Avenue and Highway 100.
We will remove the current pavement, excavate a deep trench, and replace the aging watermain pipes and storm sewers. When all underground work is complete, we will pour the new concrete road. We’ll also construct shared use paths on both sides of the road and repave the ramps to and from northbound Highway 100.
Traffic impacts
April 28 through fall 2025
Minnetonka Boulevard is closed to through traffic between Highway 100 northbound exits and Lynn Avenue. Follow the posted detour using County Road 25.

- Westbound detour (PDF)
Local access will be maintained for residents and businesses using Ottawa Avenue as the designated north/south access route. Other cross streets will be closed at Minnetonka Boulevard, with no access and no turns. On the east end of the project area, Minnetonka Boulevard has reopened to local traffic between County Road 25 and Inglewood Avenue.
Plan ahead, expect delays, use posted detours whenever possible, and plan an alternative route.
Detour and access information
If you walk, bike or roll: We will maintain access to sidewalks and trails during construction whenever possible. There may be times when people walking and rolling will be routed around the construction area for safety.

- Other side streets are closed at Minnetonka Boulevard, and traffic will not be able to cross.
You can access City Hall from the south using Raleigh Avenue.
The ramps to and from northbound Highway 100 will close for repaving for approximately two weeks in fall.
Expect delays during construction. Consider an alternative route where possible. To keep the community safe, please follow the posted detours, drive the posted speed limit, and avoid cutting through on neighborhood streets.
