CONSTRUCTION UPDATE

MARCH 16, 2015

Dear Neighbor,
The Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority (MSFA) in partnership with the Minnesota Vikings is
building a new Multi-Purpose Stadium on the site of the Metrodome. Mortenson/Thor is overseeing
construction and is providing neighborhood construction updates on a regular basis.
The plan for the stadium site is to close 5th street and make 6th street a wider, two way street. This
letter is to inform you that 5th Street will close beginning Monday, March 30, 2015. Notification signs
are posted at 5th and 11th streets to alert commuters. The detour route is 11th Avenue to 7th Street to
Park Avenue (see attached map), until 6th Street has been constructed into a two way road later this
year. Please be prepared to make alternate travel plans.
We will continue to update the neighborhood on the construction of the Minnesota Multi-Purpose
Stadium. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.
Regards,

Lynn R. Littlejohn
Director of Community Affairs
