Work is progressing on a project to expand U.S. Highway 14 to four lanes between Owatonna and Dodge Center in southern Minnesota. The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) is overseeing the $108 million undertaking. “This was the last stretch of two-lane highway between Mankato and Rochester, two significant regional trade centers,” said Michael Dougherty, director of communications of MnDOT, District 6. “The construction creates a safer, controlled-access highway through this area, which would maintain a uniform four-lane stretch and uniform speeds.” According to MnDOT’s website, Highway 14 is a major eastwest highway, providing important links between the interregional corridors of Interstate 35 (I-35) in Owatonna, Highway 52 in Rochester and Trunk Highway 169 in Mankato. see EXPANSION page 92
