    Westbound Lanes on Kellogg Boulevard between Wabasha and Washington streets remain closed

    Capital City Bikeway (CCB) Kellogg Boulevard Phase 2 Project Update (October 31, 2025)

    Due to delays in private utility relocations, the CCB Kellogg Boulevard project is delayed and will begin full force right away in the spring of 2026 and will complete the work in one construction season. We are working with our contractor on creating a revised project schedule to condense the work into one season. We will be sharing the schedule in late November.

    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:

    • October 31 to November 10 – Daytime closure of the northern eastbound lane (7 a.m. to 5 p.m.). One eastbound lane will remain open.
    • November 10 at 7 a.m. to November 15 at 5 p.m. – 24 hour closure of the northern eastbound lane to set the two manholes between Market and St Peter.
    • November 16 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.

    Construction Schedule Update

    From August 2025 to Fall 2026, Phase 2 of the Capital City Bikeway project, which includes the addition of a new two-way separated bikeway, sidewalk, westbound roadway, and center medians will begin. The project will also include improvements to drainage, underground utilities, traffic signals, lighting, and landscaping amenities.
    The project will will be divided in two stages:

    • Stage 1 - August - Fall 2025: Westbound Kellogg Blvd will be closed between Wabasha St. & Washington St.
    • Stage 1 - Spring - Summer 2026: Westbound Kellogg Blvd will be closed between Wabasha St. & Washington St.
    • Stage 2 - Summer - Fall 2026: Westbound Kellogg Blvd will be closed between Washington Street & 7th Street W

    Please follow posted detour signage. Access will be maintained for those wishing to access a property directly within the project area.
