In 2026, Hennepin County is replacing traffic signal poles and light components at 20 intersections across the county. By upgrading items that are nearing the end of their planned service life, we continue to provide safe and reliable travel for all the people who use the roads, sidewalks, and trails.
Here’s what you can expect:
- Updates will be completed between January and May
- Work at most sites will take about a week
- You may experience delays, particularly during peak hours
- Expect temporary four-way stop signs while signals are replaced
- We’ll close some lanes so crews can safely complete their work
Noticeable benefits include:
- New signals with better visibility
- Better access for people walking and rolling with upgraded pedestrian push buttons
- New metal poles set in concrete foundations
- Brighter streetlights
