    Westbound lanes and One Eastbound lane on Kellogg Boulevard between Wabasha and Washington streets remain closed

    Xcel Energy Relocations/Traffic Control Impacts

    Xcel Energy will continue with the installations on Kellogg Boulevard under the westbound lane closures. In addition to the on-going westbound closure, they will also need closures of the northern eastbound lane (reducing the eastbound to one lane during these time). This work is key for the CCB project to continue as planned in 2026. Key dates below:

    • Now to end of 2025 construction work - Daytime closure of the northern eastbound lane (7 a.m. to 5 p.m.) to set running line between the two manholes between Market and St Peter.
    • December 13 – Deadline for all restoration completed, roadways fully open to traffic, and all traffic control devices and detours fully removed for the World Juniors Hockey Tournament.
