Hennepin County is partnering with the cities of Spring Park and Orono, as well as Three Rivers Park District, to reconstruct Sunset Drive (County Road 51) between Spring Street and Shadywood Road (County Road 19).  

A reconstruction project like this allows us to replace the aging roadway and underground utilities, as well as re-envision the corridor. Our goals for this project include:  

  • incorporating new multi-modal features focused on safety and mobility.  
  • improving traffic flow
  • improving connectivity by adding trail access
