Highway 212 improvements remain on schedule
By Owen Elle Staff Writer
Carver County ’ s Highway 212 - Benton Township project currently remains on schedule according to Assistant Public Works Director and Deputy County Engineer Darin Mielke .
The project , which started in 2019 , is designed to implement roadway safety and capacity improvements for an approximately five-mile stretch of Highway 212 from the city of Norwood Young America to Cologne . It has most recently been in the final design and land acquisition phase .
“ We ’ re finalizing our construction plans which should be done within the next month and then we are also in the process of acquiring land from property owners impacted by the project ,” Mielke said . “ We are planning on advertising for bids during the month of May and then plan to have a contractor on board and start construction in the month of July .”
The Benton Township project is set to expand the aforementioned stretch of Highway 212 from a two-lane undivided highway into a fourlane divided highway , bridging the final gap in the four-lane expressway between Eden Prairie and Glencoe . This project is the second of two phases , the first of which took place in Dahlgren Township and entered completion in 2022 .
The improved highway is expected to have an economic benefit on surrounding communities , however the primary goal of the project , according to Mielke , is safety . “ I would say overall [ citizens ] are glad to see this project finally come to

fruition for the safety aspects that it will provide , in particular , the interchange that ’ s proposed at the Bongards ’ intersection , which has had a lot of fatalities in the past . This will definitely help to hopefully eliminate that issue altogether .”
Expanding on the safety issues that Highway 212 has posed , Mielke said , “ Currently the existing two-lane highway , if there would be an accident , the highway has to be shut down , it can ’ t remain open , whereas with an expressway there ’ s potential to at least keep traffic moving and users can be accustomed to a more reliable route than having it occasionally closed down for emergency situations .”
The project is set to be finished in 2026 and

detour plans have already been drawn up as traffic will be impacted during construction . However , Mielke believes that the impact the project will have on traffic won ’ t be as large as people may expect . “ For those that are familiar and drove Highway 212 when the Dahlgren Phase was being constructed , there was rather minor inconvenience to the commuters at that time . This should be very similar , however , with the addition of the interchange by Bongards , there will need to be a short-term closure of Highway 212 , I believe it ’ s going to be two days for the westbound direction and up to maybe 12 days for the eastbound direction while that bridge is being constructed over the highway ,” Mielke said .
