    UPDATE: Prairie Center Drive under SWLRT bridge closure for construction delayed until early November

    By Jeff StrateOctober 20, 2020Updated:October 22, 20202 Mins Read

    UPDATE- The Southwest Light Rail project has announced that Prairie Center Drive near Southwest Station closure originally scheduled for Thursday, October 22, from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM has been delayed until early November. 

    According to James Mockovciak, SWLRT Community Outreach Coordinator for Eden Prairie, the delay is due to the contractor postponing work because of inclement weather.

    Construction crews will be pouring concrete for the deck of the new bridge that now spans Prairie Center Drive, one of Eden Prairie’s busiest roads. 

    In its weekly construction update, the Project also notes that Eden Road, which is partially closed, is planned to fully reopen in late October and that the LRT bridge over Highway 494 that parallels Flying Cloud Drive, is nearly complete.   Look for detour signs when approaching these areas.
