Construction will continue throughout the downtown project area during the week of September 28. Underground utility work for the 2026 Downtown Reconstruction Project is nearly complete. Crews are beginning to rebuild the streets and moving overhead electrical/cable service underground.
Planned work includes:
- Xcel Energy will bury electrical lines along Main Street East, working west from Budd Avenue starting the week of September 28
- Frontier & MediaCom will conduct utility work during the week of September 28.
- Crews will continue to rebuild the downtown streets. Crews started near the Fire Department and will continue to move east along Main Street and the side streets.
- It typically takes 1 day to rebuild 1 block length of street.
- Crews installed the drain tile at Rainbow Park and rebuilt the parking lot. The parking lot will be paved in early October.
Residents and motorists should expect construction equipment, temporary access restrictions, and changing traffic patterns. Please use caution in work zones, follow posted signs, and allow extra travel time.
Schedules may change due to weather, site conditions, or other unexpected issues. Thank you for your patience and cooperation as crews complete these important improvements.

As construction continues in the downtown project area, access to the Maple Plain Library is temporarily limited.
The only access to the library is by traveling south on Budd Avenue from Highway 12. There is no access to the library from the Main Street East and Budd Avenue intersection (traveling north on Budd Avenue).
