France Ave (90th St to Marsh Lake Playfields entrance)
Monday, July 7, 2025 - Late August
Hennepin County will replace a deteriorating bridge on France Avenue (County Road 17) over Nine Mile Creek in Bloomington.
People driving will be able to access the Marsh Lake Playfields and the Bloomington Archery Range from the south, using 98th Street to reach France Avenue.
The shared use trail on the west side of France Avenue will remain open for people who walk, bike, and roll.
The posted detour for through traffic uses I-494, Normandale Boulevard (County Road 34), and Old Shakopee Road West (County Road 1).
The project includes:
- Remove the current box culvert bridge and install a new one
- Add two overflow culverts—one on the north and on the south—to better manage high water events and minimize water over the road
- Pave the new bridge and approximately 200 feet on each direction
- Install new guardrails for improved safety
Work is scheduled to be complete in late August. All dates are tentative and weather dependent.
