Bottineau Boulevard reconstruction
County Road 81 in Brooklyn Park
Update (March 2023):
Hennepin County will close Brooklyn Boulevard and 73rd Avenue N along the western side of their intersection with Bottineau Boulevard (County Road 81) in Brooklyn Park.
Both closures are intended to complete roadwork near the railroad tracks that run parallel to Bottineau Blvd. These spots were not redone when the road was previously reconstructed and need to be fixed.
Work is expected to begin in April and will last for several weeks.
History
Hennepin County and the City of Brooklyn Park partnered to reconstruct Bottineau Boulevard (County Road 81) between West Broadway and 83rd avenues, as well as Brooklyn Boulevard (County Road 130/152) between Xylon Avenue and Jolly Lane.
Improvements along the corridor included additional travel lanes, better access and connection to side streets and frontage roads, crosswalks, new traffic signal systems and improved stormwater systems. These improvements will make the road safer for all users, provide better traffic flow and reduce congestion and delays.
