March 8, 2025 - 05:49

A significant reconstruction project is on the horizon for Highway 210, also known as Washington Street, set to take place between 2026 and 2027. The project will focus on a critical stretch of the highway, spanning from Baxter Drive in Baxter to Pine Shores Road in Brainerd.

Local business owners and community members recently gathered to discuss the $45 million initiative, which aims to enhance the safety and functionality of this vital roadway. The improvements are expected to not only benefit daily commuters but also support local businesses by improving access and traffic flow in the area.

To ensure community input is considered, a public meeting is scheduled for March 25. This gathering will provide residents and stakeholders an opportunity to learn more about the project details, express their concerns, and share suggestions. The meeting is a crucial step in fostering collaboration between MnDOT and the local community as they work together to improve the region's infrastructure.
