Cedar Lake Road Improvement Project

MnDOT is completing a signal replacement project this spring/summer adjacent to the City of Minnetonka’s Cedar Lake Road Improvement Project. See MnDOT’s project page for updates and project information.

Additionally, CenterPoint Energy will be completing gas main replacement work in the area in the month of May. Please drive carefully and anticipate reduced lanes on Cedar Lake Road, temporary signals and traffic control, and increased construction activity.

Contact MnDOT for questions regarding this project.

Construction on the city's Cedar Lake Road Project is expected to begin early this summer.

Minnetonka City Council will consider awarding contracts for the Cedar Lake Road and Ridgedale Drive projects at its April 27 meeting. The meeting will be held at 6 p.m. in the City Council Chambers located at 14600 Minnetonka Blvd.

Although these projects are in different areas of the city, they will be completed under one contract, as the work is similar in both locations

City Council will be asked to authorize projects located at Ridgedale Drive and Cedar Lake Road, during its March 23 meeting. Although these projects are in different areas of the city, they will be bided as a single project.

Council will consider pavement improvements and signal replacement as part of this project.

The meeting will be held on Monday, March 23 at 6 p.m. in the second floor Council Chambers at 14600 Minnetonka Blvd.

City Council will be asked to approve a resolution that would authorize work on Cedar Lake Road and Ridgedale Drive in 2026.The resolution includes the feasibility report, authorization of plans and specifications and authorizes the acquisition of easements in the project areas.

Although these projects are in different neighborhoods of the city, the scope of work is similar. These projects will be bid as a single contract.

The meeting will be held at 6 p.m. at 14600 Minnetonka Blvd in the second-floor Council Chambers.

The engineering division will host an open house regarding the Cedar Lake Road improvements project on Thursday, Aug. 14 at 5 p.m. at the Minnetonka Community Center. Staff will be present to answer questions and explain the details of the project. If you cannot attend the meeting, contact Engineering Project Manager Mitch Hatcher by phone or email. Presentations from the meeting will be available on this website.

Cedar Lake Road project proposal

• Improvements to pavement, curb, sidewalks, pedestrian ramps, utility castings, traffic signals, signs and pavement markings.
• Construction is planned for 2026

Surveying in the project area will start soon and continue through the spring. Our engineering consultant, SRF Consulting, will carry out this work.

• Surveying will mainly be done from the street, but some work may occur in yards, driveways, and parking lots.
• Underground utilities will be marked with flags or paint. Please keep these markers in place until the survey work is finished.

Vehicle, pedestrian and bicycle counts will be conducted along the project corridor to aid in project design. Once surveying and traffic counts are complete, staff will begin working on a feasibility report, preliminary design and project schedule.

More information will be shared at an informational open house later in 2025.
