HENNEPIN COUNTY – BROWN ROAD/CSAH 146 BRIDGE – RESOLUTION NO. 6594 <br /> <br />John Ekla, Hennepin County Transportation Department, stated he is requesting municipal approval <br />tonight on the Brown Road bridge project. This project has been identified in Hennepin County’s 2016 <br />capital improvement program but will be constructed in 2017. Ekla stated for those not familiar with the <br />project, Long Lake Creek intersects Brown Road just south of Fox Street and the bridge is one mile north <br />of Lake Minnetonka and is sandwiched between the City of Long Lake and Lake Minnetonka. <br /> <br />Ekla displayed a picture of the road and bridge. <br /> <br />Ekla stated the project is necessary because the current bridge is almost 100 years old and is starting to <br />show its age. The bridge has a concrete bed that sits on steel beams and spans 23 feet in length. <br />
