Baker Road resurfacing

Hennepin County, plans to resurface Baker Road (County Road 60) between Martin Drive and the bridge under I-494.

In addition to resurfacing the pavement, pedestrian curb ramps that meet Americans with Disabilities Act standards will be added throughout the corridor.

The county will restripe the road to match the existing configuration on Baker Road between Pinnacle Drive and St. Andrews Drive.

In May 2021, crews began work to upgrade pedestrian ramps along the corridor. Beginning June 17, 2021, Baker Road closed to complete the pavement maintenance project.

Detour and access

Starting Thursday, June 17 crews closed Baker Road. This closure will be in place for up to five weeks.

All through traffic should use the marked detour:

Highway 212
Shady Oak Road (County Road 61)
Excelsior Boulevard (County Road 3)

Local access will be maintained for businesses and residents. People should expect local access routes to change as crews work in the area.

Public involvement

On March 2, 2021, county staff presented to Eden Prairie City Council.
