Roadway Rehabilitation 2023
The City of Woodbury planned a road rehabilitation and utility replacement project in the Royal Oaks neighborhood in 2022 and 2023. In November 2021, City Council voted not to move the project forward as planned and the project was moved to 2023-24.
The scope of the project includes pavement rehabilitation, curb replacement, trail rehabilitation and construction, water main replacement, water service replacement, storm sewer rehabilitation and replacement, sanitary sewer rehabilitation, and sanitary sewer service replacement.
This project will include significant underground utility work. The water main in this area has a history of breaks and a significant portion of the main will need to be replaced. Individual service lines will also need to be replaced to each property. This will have a substantial impact to all homeowners and properties in the area, with temporary water shut-offs and temporary roadway closures. Due to the size of the project, we anticipate construction extending through 2024.
For project related questions please call the project hotline at 612-358-0076.

The project would include repaving all roads within the neighborhood. All curb will also likely be replaced. If curb is replaced, the city will be required to disturb approximately 5 feet into the yards behind the curb. Any private features (irrigation, dog fence, landscaping, etc.) that will be impacted by construction are the responsibility of the homeowner to protect. The city cannot reimburse residents for any private features damaged by construction located within the city's right-of-way (approximately 12 feet behind the curb).
Based on the age and history of water main breaks, the project will include replacement of a significant amount of water main as a part of the project. As a part of the water main replacement, individual water services will also be replaced. In order to complete this work, temporary water would need to be supplied to all homeowners through overland pipes. Short-term water shut-offs (8 hours or less) will likely be necessary to complete this work. The city will not replace any private features that are impacted within the drainage and utility easements (typically 12-22 feet beyond the curb) during replacement of water services.
Sanitary sewer and sanitary services will also be rehabilitated through lining or replacement. This work is not anticipated to impact wastewater disposal for homeowners.
Based on city policies within the 2040 Comprehensive Plan and the Roadway Corridor Design Principles, additional trails along roadways within the neighborhood will be constructed along Queens Drive, Afton Road, and Courtly Road with the 2023 Roadway Rehabilitation project. A sidewalk will also be constructed along Montrose Road. Streets with trails or sidewalks being constructed will also be narrowed as part of the project.
The city is considering implementing rain gardens along the street to help improve water quality throughout the neighborhood. A rain garden is a depression that allows rain water to infiltrate into the ground and contains plants that are able to survive in soils with high levels of moisture.
If a resident is interested in having the city construct a rain garden in the boulevard in front of their house, they should indicate that on the neighborhood survey, or reach out to Mike Hejna directly.
