Concrete streets rehabilitation
Project overview
Concrete streets deteriorate over time as water and salt enter joints and cracks.
Factors that worsen conditions:
- Poor drainage
- Underlying soil conditions
- Higher traffic volumes
The Concrete Streets Rehabilitation program extends the life of concrete streets throughout the city.
We target concrete streets for which a proper repair will:
- prolong the street’s life and
- improve ride quality and neighborhood livability.
Repairing concrete generally consists of:
- Saw cutting
- Removing and replacing deteriorated concrete joints
- Other pavement distresses
We also replace concrete panels that we cannot salvage.
Other updates we may make:
- Upgrade select pedestrian ramps
- Replace select curbs and gutters
- Resurface the street pavement with a diamond grind
Any of these tasks will likely require us to replace less than 25 percent of the pavement. Along with the street work, we’ll make improvements to gas, water, and sewer utilities.
2023 locations
In 2023, the City will rehabilitate concrete pavement at the following locations in the Seward neighborhoods of Minneapolis. Construction is expected to take place starting in April 2022 and will finish by July 2022. City forces will be performing the work.
- Minnehaha Avenue from Franklin Avenue East to 24th Street East
In early Spring 2023, sawing and sealing work will take place on the following streets:
- 44th Street East from Minnehaha Avenue to Edmund Boulevard

Joint Sealing will continue in the spring. These are rolling operations with slow moving construction equipment. On-street parking impacts are anticipated and “NO PARKING” will be signed in advance.
The grass seed was applied in the late fall. This seed was dormant over the winter and should germinate in the spring. In the spring, keep the seed moist to encourage growth.
