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
March 31 through fall 2025
Minnetonka Boulevard is closed to through traffic between Highway 100 northbound exits and Inglewood Avenue. Follow the posted detour using County Road 25.

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.
If you live or have a business on Minnetonka Boulevard, you will have access to your property via single-lane, one-way traffic. Plan to use:
- A one-way eastbound lane from Ottawa to Inglewood Avenue
- A one-way westbound lane from Ottawa to Highway 100
Plan ahead, expect delays, use posted detours whenever possible, and plan an alternative route.
