This project was successfully bid August 2025 and awarded to Market & Johnson of Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Construction is scheduled to begin in April 2026. It is anticipated that there will be road closures and detours during the utility work within Rice Creek Blvd and during the construction of the new granular activated carbon (GAC) building addition. Advance notice with alternate routes will be provided for those needing to access Woodcrest Baptist Church & Academy, and the Holiday Hills Neighborhood south of 69th Avenue. Additionally, the Mississippi Regional Trail will be impacted by construction and a detour will be in place during the project (see the detour route in the Project Resources tab below). Additional details will be provided as the project progresses.
Join us for an open house to learn about the City of Fridley's Locke Park Water Treatment Plant GAC Addition project. There will be a presentation overviewing the proposed project, schedule and information on the need for the addition of granular active carbon (GAC) treatment at the Locke Park Water Treatment Plant (WTP). Following the presentation, the project team will be available for questions and to receive your feedback.
The open house will be held in the Fireside Room at the Fridley Civic Campus (7071 University Avenue NE) on Thursday, November 7, 2024 from 5-6 p.m. It is located on the main level of City Hall.
