2026 Clearwater Road, North Lynndale & Brentwood Circle Street & Utility Project
Project Introduction
Welcome to the project website for the 2026 Street and Utility Improvements on Clearwater Road, North Lynndale Area, and Brentwood Circle. The City of Baxter is partnering with Short Elliott Hendrickson Inc. (SEH) to lead the engineering efforts. Council authorized the project to move to the design stage at the August 19th Council Meeting.
Project Overview
This project involves the full reconstruction of streets and the installation of municipal sanitary sewer and water utilities along Clearwater Road, within the North Lynndale Area, and on Brentwood Circle. Project maps are available below for your review.
The project is in the preliminary design phase, with construction expected to take place during the 2026 construction season.
Survey Work to begin within project areas
SEH staff will be present within the project areas over the course of the next couple months gathering topographic survey data. Survey crews will primarily be collecting topographic data within the City right of way. However, data collection is also needed on private property to establish building, septic and well locations and elevations to aid in the planning and design of sewer and water services to each property. Your cooperation with this work is greatly appreciated.
