Future interchange
About this project
MnDOT, in partnership with the city of Baxter and Crow Wing County, will design and construct a future interchange at the busy intersection of Hwy 210 and Hwy 371. Construction anticipated to begin in 2028.
Hwy 371 will need to span over the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway and Hwy 210. The key question is how motorists will access the interchange and local road system.
In early 2024, we will begin the process to determine design and access solutions, then develop a final concept.
Community feedback and recommendations gained from the 2024 Let's Talk Transportation—Nisswa to Baxter corridor study and the 2021 intersection improvement study will also be instrumental in delivering this project.
When complete, the $58 million Corridors of Commerce-funded project will improve access, safety and traffic flow through the Brainerd Lakes area.
