'Expect Major Delays': Road Work Along Cedar Avenue Aug. 29-Sept. 3

New road work slated for Cedar Avenue this week:

• Lane closures will switch to the inside lanes just south of Apple Valley, from 160th Street south to Dodd Boulevard in Lakeville. Traffic will be routed to the outside lanes; to do this, traffic signals on Monday morning on this stretch of Cedar will flash red to signal an all-way stop. "Expect major delays," the county's Cedar update website says.

• Cedar will close between 150th and 153rd streets from 9:30 p.m. Thursday to 5 a.m. Friday.

• The entrance to businesses between 150th and 153rd streets in Apple Valley, east of Cedar, will be closed to incoming traffic, but still open to out-going traffic for several days.

Existing road and lane closures that will continue are:

• closure of sidewalks along both sides of Cedar from 147th to 157th streets. These began July 25.

• closure of northbound and southbound lanes of Cedar between 147th Street in Apple Valley and Dodd Boulevard.

• closure of the northbound and southbound Apple Valley transit stations at 155th Street West and Cedar, for utility work. Buses will pick up and drop off at the old transit station on Gaslight Lane during this time. Riders still are advised to park in the ramp near the newer stations and walk to the old station. The stations closure is slated to continue through October.
