Road construction on County Road 19
The County Road 19 project between Main Street in Maple Plain and Highway 55 is substantially complete, and the road has been fully re-opened to vehicle traffic.
Work continues on a culvert at Spurzem Creek through Nov. 9; trail users should watch for intermittent closures of the paved and turf trails adjacent to County Road 19 where the trails cross over the creek.
The project included resurfacing of the roadway; conversion of bypass lanes into turn lanes for easier access into Baker Park Reserve; and improvements to increase safety, accessibility and storm water management. For more information, visit Hennepin County's project page.
Construction at Baker Campground for electrical upgrades
In fall 2025 and spring 2026, a project to upgrade campsite electrical service at the Baker Campground is scheduled to take place in loops B, D, G and F. The project will upgrade campsite electrical service where it presently exists and install new electrical service to select loops that previously have been non-electric. It will increase the number of electrified sites and ensure the service provided at electrified sites is uniform throughout the campground.
During construction, the affected loops will be unavailable for use. Other areas of the campground are anticipated to remain open normal hours with limited impacts due to construction. The project is expected to begin after Labor Day 2025 and be complete early in the summer of 2026.
