Construction Update 

Update July 21, 2021

The Contractor is scheduled to mill the top 2” of existing pavement on Sunwood Drive between Sunfish Lake Boulevard and 700 feet east of Bunker Lake Boulevard on Monday, July 26. The Contractor is scheduled to pave the entire project on Tuesday, July 27, which will substantially complete the project. The remaining work after paving includes restoring the disturbed areas behind the concrete curb and gutter repairs with sod, and to place pavement markings. The new bituminous pavement must be in-place for at least 72 hours before pavement markings can be applied.

Update July 16, 2021

During the week of July 12 – 16, the Contractor milled the top 2” of existing street between Trunk Highway 47 and Erkium Street.

During the week of July 19 – 23, the Contractor anticipates milling the top 2” of existing street between Sunfish Lake Boulevard and 700 feet east of Bunker Lake Boulevard. The western termini of this project have been adjusted due to the Anoka County Bunker Lake Boulevard improvements which are scheduled for this fall.

Update July 9, 2021

During the week of July 5 – 9, the Contractor finished any bituminous patching, concrete work, and restoration of areas disturbed by concrete replacements with new topsoil and sod.

During the week of July 12 – 16, the Contractor is scheduled to mill the bituminous pavement, removing the top 2” of the existing street. Following milling, the Contractor will pave the new 2” of bituminous pavement on top. The new pavement must sit for 3 days before pavement markings can be placed, which likely will occur the week of July 19^th. Once pavement markings are applied to the new bituminous pavement, the project will be considered complete, with only punch-list items remaining.
