Tired of being diverted from Kellogg Boulevard near the Xcel Energy Center during road construction?

Well, Happy New Year! St. Paul's Department of Public Works announced Thursday that it has opened all lanes of traffic on the sections of Kellogg Boulevard between Market Street and Wabasha Street.

These portions of Kellogg had been closed since spring for replacement of the two bridges that span this section of the street. Final work on the bridges will resume in the spring of 2016 and will require a temporary street closure.

Public Works Director Kathy Lantry stated, "We are excited to be done with this phase of the work and to completely open this artery into Downtown Saint Paul. We thank the public and commuters for their patience while we build this bridge ensuring it will last 75 to 100 years."

During the spring closure period, final street resurfacing work will be completed. Updates and work schedules will be provided at www.stpaul.gov/Kellogg.
