December 2023

As 2023 is wrapping up, project staff are pleased to announce that two more significant markers of construction for the METRO Green Line Extension project have recently been completed.

The South Cedar Lake LRT Trail between Beltline Boulevard and France Avenue in St. Louis Park has reopened. The first photo shows the tracks east of Beltline Boulevard Station with the pedestrian trail bridge in the background, which was opened to the public this week.

In addition, more than 11.5 contiguous miles of light rail track guideway have been laid between Eden Prairie and Minneapolis near the West Lake Street Station area. The second photo shows the tracks at SouthWest Station in Eden Prairie. As the project moves forward, work to lay tracks throughout the Minneapolis segments will continue.
