Looking ahead to construction

MnDOT is working on the final design plan, work and traffic plans for the future Hwy 371 and Hwy 210—Baxter interchange: 2028-2030 construction web page.

MnDOT thanks the public for their valuable insight and involvement during this stage of developing this project on the Let's Talk Transportation platform.

When complete, the $58 million Corridors of Commerce - funded project will improve access, safety and traffic flow through the Brainerd Lakes area.


Future improvements defined

MnDOT, in partnership with the city of Baxter and Crow Wing County, will construct a new interchange at the busy intersection of Hwy 210 and Hwy 371, which includes the BNSF Railway. Planning and final design is expected to continue through 2027, with construction starting in 2028.

The Let's Talk Transportation platform allowed us to work with the community to identify and select a preliminary design through a comprehensive analysis of existing and future demographics, land use, development, and transportation operations and safety data.
