Project Summary:

Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) is preparing plans for a major project to upgrade a sanitary sewer line that serves Edina and Richfield. The project will begin at 75th Street and Xerxes Avenue and will extend east along 75th Street to I-35W. It will cross I-35W near the 76th Street bridge and extend east along 76th Street to 11th Avenue, where it will turn north. It will extend north along 11th Avenue to 72nd Street, turn east on 72nd, and extend east to Cedar Avenue on 72nd Street or on Diagonal Blvd.

A new regional sewer pipe will begin at the intersection of 75th street and Xerxes Avenue and extend east along 75th street to I-35W.  It will cross under I-35W near the 76th street bridge and extend east along 76th street to 11th Avenue, where it will turn north.  The pipe will extend north on 11th Avenue to 72nd, turn east on 72nd street, and extend east along Diagonal Boulevard to Cedar Avenue.  At that point the new pipe will connect with an existing MCES regional sewer.  (See Construction Staging map above) These improvements are aimed at meeting the long-term wastewater service needs in this area.
