Construction on portions of the planned Central Corridor light-rail line in downtown St. Paul is scheduled to begin March 21, with work starting on Fourth Street between Wacouta and Broadway.
A six-block section of Fourth, between Broadway and Minnesota streets, will be closed to through traffic at various times in stages through November, with some exceptions made for access to parking facilities and for deliveries. Intersections will be closed during work on adjacent segments.
Utility and other work has been underway on the line in Minneapolis and St. Paul.
The 11-mile Central Corridor line will link downtown St. Paul and downtown Minneapolis along Washington and University avenues. It's scheduled to begin service in 2014. The line will connect with the Hiawatha LRT line at the Metrodome station in Minneapolis and the Northstar commuter rail line at the new Target Field station.
