Capital City Bikeway Kellogg Boulevard Phase 2

Project Details

Description
The City of Saint Paul will be constructing a portion of the Capital City Bikeway along Kellogg Boulevard from St. Peter Street to West 7th Street in 2025. The bikeway will be constructed on the north side of Kellogg Boulevard linking Saint Paul RiverCentre, George Latimer Central Library, the Xcel Energy Center, and the Science Museum of Minnesota. The Capital City Bikeway is a vital connection to important destinations in downtown Saint Paul.

The City’s goals for Kellogg Boulevard include:

Make the Capital City Bikeway connection
Be compatible with event operations as an economic engine of downtown
Create a welcoming pedestrian event experience and environment
Be compatible with Eastbound Kellogg RiverCentre Bridge project
Be compatible with the Riverview Corridor
Support future increase of density and reorientation of downtown towards the river
- RiversEdge
- RiverCentre Parking Ramp
- River Balcony
- Riverview Corridor

Location
Kellogg Boulevard from St. Peter Street to West 7th Street

March 9 Sound Testing for Kellogg Capital City Bikeway Preparations

To prepare for the Capital City Bikeway project, the project team will be performing a sound analysis on Monday, March 9 between 8 a.m. and noon on Kellogg Boulevard between East 7th and Washington streets. Intermittent broadband sound (may sound like radio static or a loud ocean) can be anticipated during this time period.

March 9 Closure Update: Northbound Washington Street between Kellogg Boulevard and 4th Street will be closed for Xcel Energy's Work

Westbound lanes on Kellogg Boulevard between Wabasha and Washington remain closed

Beginning March 9, northbound Washington Street will be closed from Kellogg Boulevard to 4th Street. Southbound Washington Street will be open to Kellogg Boulevard and to access the RiverCentre Parking Ramp.

The westbound lanes of Kellogg Boulevard between Wabasha and Washington streets will remain closed for Xcel Energy's work and then for Capital City Bikeway work. Xcel Energy's work is key for the Capital City Bikeway project to continue as planned in April 2026.

Capital City Bikeway 2026 Construction Schedule

From August 2025 to Fall 2026, Phase 2 of the Capital City Bikeway project, which includes the addition of a new two-way separated bikeway, sidewalk, westbound roadway, and center medians will occur. The project will also include improvements to drainage, underground utilities, traffic signals, lighting, and landscaping amenities.

The 2026 project work will will be divided in two stages:

Stage 1 (Spring - Summer 2026): Westbound Kellogg Blvd will be closed between Wabasha St. & Washington St.
Stage 2 (Spring - Fall 2026): Westbound Kellogg Blvd will be closed between Washington Street & 7th Street W
*During Spring - Summer 2026, both Stage 1 and Stage 2 closures will overlap, meaning Westbound Kellogg Blvd from Wabasha St. to 7th St. W will be closed.

Traffic detour: Westbound traffic will be detoured from Wabasha Street to W 6th Street to 7th Street W. Please follow posted detour signage.

Pedestrian access: Sidewalk on the north side of Kellogg Boulevard between St. Peter Street and Market Street will be closed. Please follow posted pedestrian signage.

Access will be maintained for those wishing to access a property directly within the project area.

From Xcel Energy January 2026: Kellogg Boulevard Construction Notification

Xcel Energy electric underground construction teams will be working to install a new manhole and duct line on Kellogg Boulevard between Market Street and Washington Street, beginning January 13th and ending mid April ’26. These improvements will help ensure we continue to provide safe, reliable service while also enhancing the resiliency of the system that serves customers in the area. This work needs to be completed in advance of the Kellogg bike lane (CCB) project.

We’ll provide regular updates on schedule and potential impacts. Schedules are subject to change.

What can I expect?

Our goal is to limit inconveniences to you. As we work, you may notice:
- Utility line marking and survey holes.
- Equipment, crews and materials.
- Road, sidewalk and lane closures.
- Construction noise, mostly the Jackhammering of shale rock.
Work areas change regularly. Follow these tips for your safety and the safety of our crews:
- Watch for crews and equipment.
- Stay outside of and away from work areas.
- Follow directions on signs and from crews.
- Stay alert! Traffic control changes regularly.
- Avoid using your cell phone.

Traffic Control

We will be closing WB Kellogg between Wabasha St and Washington St from 1-13-25 thru 1-24-25. We will also be closing Market Street in both directions between 4th St and Kellogg from 1-13-25 thru 1-20-25. We anticipate WB Kellogg between Wabasha and Market to open back up by 1-25-25. We will continue to have WB Kellogg closed between Market Street and Washington for an extended amount of time.

We anticipate our portion of this city project to be completed by April of 2026.

How does Xcel Energy work to keep me safe?

Public safety is at the foundation of all we do. The safety of the public around our infrastructure influences every decision we make. We take a proactive approach to public safety by implementing safety measures before, during and after construction.

Westbound lanes and One Eastbound lane on Kellogg Boulevard between Wabasha and Washington streets remains closed
Xcel Energy Relocations/Traffic Control Impacts
Xcel Energy will continue with the installations on Kellogg Boulevard under the westbound lane closures. In addition to the on-going westbound closure, they will also need closures of the northern eastbound lane (reducing the eastbound to one lane during these time). This work is key for the CCB project to continue as planned in 2026. Key dates below:
- Now until November 15 at 5 p.m. – 24 hour closure of the northern eastbound lane to set the two manholes between Market and St Peter.
- November 16 to end of 2025 construction work - Daytime closure of the northern eastbound lane (7 a.m. to 5 p.m.) to set running line between the two manholes between Market and St Peter.
