The Highway 100 on and off ramps and bridge are set to reopen in mid-November, providing relief for the Grand View and 50th and France districts. However, the bridge over the railway is delayed due to power line relocation issues and railroad permitting, which are outside the city's direct control. Construction will continue as weather allows and resume in April with a goal of a mid-summer reopening.

Notable Quotes (2)

this is due to the issue with an Excel power line within the railroad rightway. So those two agencies are not controlled by the city of Edina.
