Central Corridor construction heating up

The Central Corridor construction will be heating up before the weather cools, according to Finance & Commerce.

Construction crews will ramp up their efforts before halting when the ground freezes, said Laura Baenen, communications manager for the Central Corridor LRT project.

The Metropolitan Council says a three-mile stretch of University Avenue in St. Paul will reopen Wednesday, said Baenen, according to Minnesota Public Radio.

The Metropolitan Council estimates that the project is 32 percent complete, and a dry fall helped the contractors make a Nov. 30 deadline, according to Finance & Commerce and MPR.
