Minneapolis - 17th Avenue NE - Project Updates

Project Description

From April 5 to mid- or late May 2021, CenterPoint Energy’s authorized contractors will work in Minneapolis along 17th Avenue NE between 4th Street NE and Monroe Street NE. While Michels Corporation will replace the natural gas main, connect the natural gas service lines to the new main, and move any inside residential meters outside, Q3 Contracting will restore the areas affected by Michels Corporation’s work outside the limits of the City of Minneapolis’s 17th Ave. NE & Northeast River Ridge project.

Traffic Impacts

Road, lane and parking closures will happen in segments rather than all at once. Any road closure will be closed to through traffic and open to residents. Sidewalk closures will alternate as needed. One side will remain open to maintain pedestrian access.


When the crews close 17th Ave. NE at Monroe St. NE, traffic will be detoured to Monroe St. NE, 15th Ave. NE and Madison St. NE. When the crews close a portion of 17th Ave. NE at Jefferson St. NE, traffic will be detoured either to Jefferson St. NE, 15th Ave. NE and Adams St. NE or to 17th Ave. NE, Monroe St. NE and 19th Ave. NE. When the crews close the intersection of 17th Ave. NE and Adams St. NE, traffic will be detoured to 19th Ave. NE, Jefferson St. NE, 15th Ave. NE and Washington St. NE. On the south side of 17th Ave. NE between 4th St. NE and Washington St. NE, the crews will alternate alley closures. Local access will be maintained.
