I still appreciate my smooth and easy daily commute from Carver to Eden Prairie on the new 212.

I'm a little disappointed the CR147 interchange won't open until mid-August.

A grand opening celebration for new Highway 212 from Highway 41 to existing Highway 212 has been scheduled for Tuesday, July 1 at 12:30 p.m.

Charlene Zimmer, with Zumbro River Constructors (ZRC), cautioned that the roadway will not be open to the public at that point, however.

Though they were shooting for July 7th, the road is projected to open a week later, on the 14th, instead.

"There's still some work to be done," said Margaret Donahoe, executive director of the MN Transportation Alliance.
