[0:00] We're here for another Vernon Avenue and [0:02] Highway 100 interchange project update. [0:05] The good news is the Highway 100 on and [0:08] off ramps and the Highway 100 bridge [0:10] will reopen very soon. Mid November, [0:13] those ramps are going to reopen and [0:15] that's really going to improve the [0:16] access to the Grand View District and [0:18] the 50th and France district. The not so [0:21] good news is the bridge that goes over [0:22] the railway is not going to open in that [0:25] time frame and this is due to the issue [0:28] with an Excel power line within the [0:31] railroad rightway. So those two agencies [0:33] are not controlled by the city of Edina. [0:35] We were working with them to make sure [0:37] they understood the construction [0:39] schedule, but those permit processes and [0:42] agreements just take time and that's [0:43] what delayed the bridge over the [0:45] railway. The contractor is going to work [0:47] as long as they can this winter, as long [0:49] as it allows for weather conditions, and [0:51] then they will return in the spring, [0:53] most likely in April, to finish that [0:55] bridge and get that open as soon as [0:58] possible next summer, most likely [1:00] midsummer. We will continue to provide [1:02] updates on those schedules as we get new [1:05] information, but really the good news is [1:07] look for those on andoff ramps of [1:08] Highway 100 opening soon. And for more [1:10] information, see better together.org. [1:13] And again, we want to thank everybody [1:15] for their patience with this project. [1:18] [Music]
