View full-size mapMnDOT, in partnership with the city of Baxter and Crow Wing County, will design and construct a new intersection at Hwy 210 and Hwy 371, which includes the BNSF railroad. Planning and design is expected to continue through 2027, with construction anticipated to begin in 2028.

The project will identify, prioritize, and select a preliminary design through a comprehensive analysis of existing and future demographics, land use, development, and transportation operations and safety data. When complete, the $58 million Corridors of Commerce-funded project will improve access, safety and traffic flow through the Brainerd Lakes area.
