Anticipated Construction Schedule

Construction is expected to continue through fall 2026, with work progressing in phases and moving block by block to minimize impacts when possible. Please note that schedules are weather-dependent and may shift depending on construction scheduling, especially the reclamation and mill & overlay streets. Stay tuned for weekly updates that will detail scheduling updates once construction is underway.

What to Expect During Construction

You may notice the following activities as work progresses:

• Private utility work ahead of street construction by Communications, Gas, and Electric companies, including:
  • CenterPoint gas facility replacements along Island View Road and Linden Circle
  • MVEC electric line replacement along Northwood Road and Fremont Avenue
• Utility locate markings (colored flags and paint marks)
• Survey and construction staking in yards (wooden lath)
• Temporary water systems during watermain replacement in reconstruction areas (a notice will be delivered to your door if this applies to your property to have your temporary water service hooked up to your home)
• Noise, vibration, dust, and construction equipment in the area
• Crews working block by block with changing access

Access, Parking & Deliveries

• Access to homes will be maintained whenever possible, though temporary restrictions may occur during active construction. Your access route may need to change from day to day, including coming from the opposite direction.
• When driveways are impacted, crews will coordinate directly with residents. Please look for notices delivered to your door.
• Island View Circle will experience the most significant access limitations due to it being one way in/out.
  • Crews will work to provide a temporary bypass access road whenever possible. However, limited public right-of-way and deep utility work may limit this possibility at times.
  • If access is temporarily unavailable, residents will be asked to park on adjacent streets during work hours. This will be communicated in advance. Onsite project staff will be available to assist where possible.
• During major construction operations, residents are encouraged to schedule package delivery for pickup at a local carrier hub, if possible.

Mail, Trash & Recycling

• Temporary mailboxes will be installed to serve Island View Road, Island Circle, Island View Circle, and Fremont Avenue when needed.
  • It is possible that USPS requires temporary mailboxes for more streets than are identified above.
  • You will receive advance notice before mail service is relocated along with the location of the temporary mailbox bank. This will be coordinated directly with the USPS postmaster who will identify the temporary mailbox bank location.
  • Your existing mailbox will be removed/salvaged, if possible, and then reinstalled at the conclusion of construction.
• Trash and recycling service will continue as normal.
  • Please place bins as directed; crews will relocate them for pickup by the garbage haulers, if necessary.

Irrigation and Dog Fencing

• Irrigation systems and dog fences impacted by construction will be repaired.
  • Please mark sprinkler heads and invisible dog fences in advance of construction on your street, if possible. This will help crews identify damage requiring repairs.
  • Any damage will be documented and restored by the contractor during boulevard restorations. We encourage residents to notify the project team of damage to your facilities by sending an email to the project email address (below) to ensure it is included on our repairs tracking list.

Contact Us

For general questions, concerns, or to be directed to the right contact, please reach out to: [email protected] or (952) 373-0176.

The City of Prior Lake and their consultant, Bolton & Menk, will also have staff onsite during construction who can assist with questions and general access needs.

Stay Informed

Weekly construction updates will be emailed throughout the project, and additional or daily updates will be sent during major operations that impact access. Advanced notices will be provided for street closures, utility shutdowns, mailbox changes, concrete work, etc.

Thank you for your cooperation as we complete these important infrastructure improvements. We appreciate your patience as we work to improve the Northwood Road area.
