From Xcel Energy January 2026: Kellogg Boulevard Construction Notification
Xcel Energy electric underground construction teams will be working to install a new manhole and duct line on Kellogg Boulevard between Market Street and Washington Street, beginning January 13th and ending mid April ’26. These improvements will help ensure we continue to provide safe, reliable service while also enhancing the resiliency of the system that serves customers in the area. This work needs to be completed in advance of the Kellogg bike lane (CCB) project.
We’ll provide regular updates on schedule and potential impacts. Schedules are subject to change.

- Stay alert! Traffic control changes regularly.

Traffic Control
We will be closing WB Kellogg between Wabasha St and Washington St from 1-13-25 thru 1-24-25. We will also be closing Market Street in both directions between 4th St and Kellogg from 1-13-25 thru 1-20-25. We anticipate WB Kellogg between Wabasha and Market to open back up by 1-25-25. We will continue to have WB Kellogg closed between Market Street and Washington for an extended amount of time.
We anticipate our portion of this city project to be completed by April of 2026.
How does Xcel Energy work to keep me safe?
- Public safety is at the foundation of all we do. The safety of the public around our infrastructure influences every decision we make. We take a proactive approach to public safety by implementing safety measures before, during and after construction.
