Main Street

Main Street is the center of downtown Rogers and one of the oldest parts of town. However, with this history come existing utilities that are no longer adequate and almost all are nearing the end of their life cycles. The Main Street Reconstruction Project will replace existing sewer, watermains and storm sewers with new and in some cases larger systems to accommodate our growing population. Along with the replacement of City utilities, the Public Works Department worked with the internet and cable providers in the area to move existing overhead wires to underground, which was completed in late 2020. The overhead electrical wires are to be moved underground this year, with subsequent removal of electrical poles. This move is intended to make Main Street safer and more aesthetically pleasing.

Project Map & Location

Due to delays in the agreement with Hennepin County regarding giving back ownership of Main Street to the City, construction will be delayed until further notice.

Reconstruction of Main Street will be delayed until Main Street can be given back to the City, expected construction to start when agreement reached.
