Excelsior Boulevard improvements

County Road 3 in Minnetonka

Hennepin County, in coordination with the City of Minnetonka, is preparing to repave and restripe Excelsior Boulevard (County Road 3) between County Road 101 and Glen Oak Street in Minnetonka.

Before repaving, some utilities underneath Excelsior Boulevard and Woodland Road need to be replaced, requiring a short-term, full closure. We will also update pedestrian ramps that are ADA-compliant at three intersections.

The project was completed in September.

Construction updates

Improvements work complete

The Excelsior Boulevard (County Road 3) improvements work is complete.

We hope you enjoy the improved traveling experience for all users. Improvements on Excelsior Boulevard include Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant pedestrian ramps at three locations:

Minnetonka Library entrance
Spring Lane intersection
Glen Oak Street intersection

We also completed utility work to improve utility delivery and reduce the likelihood of having to dig up new pavement for utility repairs.

Lastly, we repaved the Excelsior Boulevard corridor to help maintain good ride quality and restriped the corridor that will improve the safety of people traveling at intersections by replacing bypass lanes with dedicated turn lanes.
