Construction to close Wayzata Blvd.

Beginning April 15 through fall, County Road 112 (Wayzata Boulevard) will close in both directions between County Road 6 and Willow Drive.

Local access to Wayzata Boulevard businesses will be maintained on the east side of the project area at Willow Drive.

Access to Susan E. Lurton Park will be maintained on the west side of the project area at County Road 6.

This reconstruction project is addressing deteriorating pavement, updating utilities and making improvements for drainage and storm water management.

The result will be a safer, more livable and welcoming road, with the following features:

• New pavement for a smoother ride

• Restored and improved Long Lake shoreline

• New shared turn lanes to improve traffic flow

• New street lighting for better visibility

• New sidewalks and trails with a boulevard buffer

• Safer pedestrian and trail crossings

• Improved accessibility for people with disabilities

About this project

Hennepin County, in partnership with the Cities of Long Lake and Orono, is reconstructing this stretch of Wayzata Boulevard (County Road 112).

The first phase of this four-mile long reconstruction, between Willow Drive and Wolf Pointe Trail, was completed in 2018. The second phase, between Wolf Pointe Trail and Highway 12, was completed in 2019. The third and final phase of reconstruction, east of County Road 6 to Willow Drive, will begin later this month.
