9.3 miles of streets to be resurfaced this summer in Minneapolis

Minneapolis is gearing up for a busy 2025 construction season with more than $225 million in planned infrastructure improvements. These projects will impact everything from travel times to water quality. Led by the city’s public works department, 66 capital projects will get underway this year, representing a major investment in safer streets, more reliable utilities, and more vibrant neighborhoods.
This year’s projects include:
• 9.3 miles of streets resurfaced
• 1.6 miles of streets reconstructed
• 2 Greenway bridges reconstructed
• 823 lead water service lines replaced
• 16 miles of water main rehabilitated
“This year, we are laser focused on the core infrastructure people in the city use everyday,” said Mayor Frey. “It is a daily luxury to not think about whether our water is clean enough to drink, whether the potholes will be filled on your commute or if the sidewalk is easy enough for your kid to navigate. The work done by our amazing public work employees will connect people in every corner of our city with safe drinking water, calmer streets, and easier connections to the places we love.”
To keep the public informed, the city is also launching a new online construction dashboard with real-time updates on project timelines, traffic impacts, and key milestones.
