Mill and overlay work
Beginning on August 9, crews will repave Minnetonka Boulevard (County Road 5) between Hillsboro Avenue South and Vernon Avenue South/West Lake Street.
This work will be done in stages. First, the existing road will be grinded away (milled). Then, new road will be paved (overlaid). To complete the work, new striping and pavement markings for people biking and driving will be added to the corridor.
Weather permitting, repaving work is expected to be completed in roughly one week.
