Hennepin County to Mill and Overlay County Road 101 (Central Avenue)

Beginning Thursday, October 3 at 7:00 p.m., Hennepin County will repave Central Avenue (County Road 101) in Wayzata between County Road 12 and Wayzata Boulevard. Work is scheduled to be complete around 2:00 a.m. on Friday, October 4.

Crews will work on one side of the road at a time, and traffic will be brought through the project area using flaggers. Residents and businesses will have access, but may experience brief delays. Be alert for traffic control personnel and allow extra time. All work is weather dependent.

The project has been scheduled during overnight hours to minimize disruption to residents, businesses, and people driving. When complete, the road will have a smoother surface, along with new lane striping to improve safety for the people who drive, walk, roll, and bike here.

Thank you for your patience while we improve this important road.

Post-Construction Update on the Pavement Rejuvenation Project

The City hired Corrective Asphalt Materials, LLC to apply an asphalt rejuvenating agent to select City streets. The application occurred during the week of September 9^th. The asphalt rejuvenating agent will extend the life of the pavement and is planned to be reapplied approximately every 5 – 6 years. There is no further work planned on these streets at this time, except for sweeping to collect any residual sand that is left on the streets. The streets that were treated will appear to be wet and have a temporary “dirty” appearance, which will fade over the next few weeks while the product soaks into the pavement, and natural weathering occurs.

A link to the Corrective Asphalt Materials website is included below with additional information about “What to Expect When We Spray Reclamite”.
