North Shore Bridges replacement

County Road 51 in Orono

Hennepin County, in coordination with the City of Orono, replaced two bridges carrying North Shore Drive (County Road 51) over the Hendrickson and Noerenberg channels. These bridges are frequently referred to separately as the Hendrickson Bridge and Noerenberg Bridge.

Construction activities completed in fall 2022.

Project completed in 2022

Construction updates

Hendrickson and Noerenberg bridges are open

The Hendrickson and Noerenberg bridges are now open to traffic.

In five months, crews replaced the two bridges that were more than 60 years old. The new bridges offer updates and improvements that better meet today’s needs. As new bridges, there should be less frequent maintenance activities. 

All of this means, the people traveling throughout Lake Minnetonka – including those who travel the roadways and the channels – will have a better experience and have a reliable connection to wherever they need to be.
