[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.
