Coon Rapids Boulevard Pedestrian Bridge Rehabilitation Project 18-13A

This pedestrian bridge is located northwest of the intersection of Coon Rapids Boulevard and Coon Rapids Boulevard Extension just southeast of Zilla Street. Please direct all questions and concerns regarding this construction project to the City of Coon Rapids Project Manager, Mark Hansen, who can be reached at 763-767-6465.

This project is now substantially complete. The City will repaint the metal bridge railings, bollards, banner poles, bike racks, and benches located in this area under a separate contract within the next few weeks.

The Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) is currently rehabilitating its lift station (L34) adjacent to this City-owned pedestrian bridge along Coon Rapids Boulevard Extension. For MCES project schedule and contact information, please visit: https://metrocouncil.org/Wastewater-Water/Projects/Sewer-Planning-Construction-Updates/Projects/Coon-Rapids-L34-805560.aspx

2021 Street Reconstruction Project 21-1 – 3.0 miles of local streets (from 127^th Avenue north of 130^th Lane between Shenandoah Boulevard and Hanson Boulevard plus Bluebird Circle north of 121^st Avenue)

The Contractor for this project is New Look Construction. The Contractor’s main contact is Adam Pohlkamp at 320-980-3637. The City’s full-time project inspector is Zach Pfieffer, who can be contacted any time to respond to specific questions or concerns. Zach can be reached at 763-767-6431 (office) or 612-710-8243 (cell).

Work next week includes concrete curb and gutter and driveway apron area removals in Area 2 (streets including 128^th Avenue, Nightingale Street, Jay Street, and 129^th Lane). This process will take place throughout the entire week. Driveways will be ramped with gravel to maintain access throughout.

New concrete curb and gutter installations are planned to begin in Area 2 on July 6 – this avoids on-street parking restrictions over the 4^th of July holiday weekend during the concrete curing process.

ATTENTION RESIDENTS PLANNING ON FULL DRIVEWAY REPLACEMENTS:
If a portion of your driveway apron has been removed as part of the City’s construction project and you are planning to have your own contractor install a full new driveway, please email Zach Pfieffer at zpfieffer@coonrapidsmn.gov with details (property address, timing of installation, etc.). The City will work with you to issue a credit for the work that would have been completed under our project and will direct the City’s Contractor to exclude your driveway apron from its restoration plans.
