Public invited to view Highway 371 and Highway 210 intersection design on July 22 in Baxter

BAXTER, Minn. – The Minnesota Department of Transportation invites the traveling public and local community to a public meeting to view the recommended design for the Highway 371 and Highway 210 intersection improvement project in Baxter.

Two open house-style meetings will be held:

Tuesday, July 22, 2025
1-2:30 p.m.
MnDOT office: 7694 Industrial Park Rd. S, Baxter, MN
Tuesday, July 22, 2025
4-6 p.m.
MnDOT office: 7694 Industrial Park Rd. S, Baxter, MN

During the meetings, there will be an ongoing video presentation about the recommended design and guests may come and go at their leisure.

The project aims to improve access, safety and traffic flow through the Brainerd Lakes area. MnDOT has selected a preferred alternative based on a comprehensive analysis of current and future demographics, land use, development trends and transportation and safety data.

Planning and design work will continue through 2027, with construction expected to begin in 2028.
