In 2023, MnDOT completed a corridor study of Highway 10 in SE St. Cloud. The study included a technical analysis of the corridor and gathered public input about safety and transportation priorities. Results of the corridor study indicated the need for a potential interchange on the northern end of the corridor and variousimprovements to the south.
As a result, the Minnesota legislature has directed MnDOT to design alternatives for making improvements to the north end of the corridor along with safety and access management improvements through Haven Township to County Road 3/32nd Street SE area.
MnDOT will be seeking public input from community members throughout the summer and fall of 2025 to build on the findings of the corridor study and support this project. This will involve a public open house in August to present alternative design options.
Intersection study area
The corridor study reviewed the current conditions of the 15th Avenue SE / Highway 10 intersection and the 12th Street SE (County Road 7) / Highway 10 intersection. The 15th Avenue SE intersection is a 4-way intersection that is currently controlled by a traffic signal. The 12th Street SE/County Road 7 intersection is a 3-way intersection with no traffic control. Both intersections are at-grade crossings, which means the roads have a level crossing (no bridges or ramps).
Leave at grade (No build)
With this “no build” option, the characteristics of the intersections would not change. Instead, MnDOT would complete minor infrastructure improvements to improve safety and traffic flow at a low cost.
Bridge
In this option, MnDOT will build a bridge over Highway 10 within the intersection improvement area. The bridge would not include access ramps to Highway 10, limiting access to the highway from 15th Avenue SE or 12th Street SE/County Road 7. This option would improve safety and traffic flow in the area at a moderate cost level.
Interchange
The interchange option involves constructing a grade separated interchange within the intersection area, including an elevated cross street with on and off ramps to Highway 10. This optiongreatly improves safety and traffic flow at a high cost level.
Additional areas
Haven Township area
MnDOTis also proposing safety and access improvements to the southern end of the corridor through Haven Township. This section of Highway 10 provides access to industrial properties that move large vehicles. The improvements proposed to this area of the project will control the movement of large vehicles and increase safety for all road users.
Teeders Industrial Park area
This area along the Highway 10 corridor provides access to Highway 10 for a variety of commercial businesses and industrial properties that move freight and other large vehicles frequently. To providesafer movement of these vehiclesand improve mobility in the area, MnDOT is proposing access management solutions. Access management solutions could involve limiting the amount of access points to Highway 10 from this business area and other safety measures to allow large vehicles to safely enter and exit the highway.
County Road 3/32nd Street SE
This intersection along Highway 10 is currently controlled by a stop sign on County Road 3/32nd Street SE. The intersection is located near the Teeders Industrial Park area and sees large vehicle movement coming to and from the industrial properties. To improve the movement of these vehicles and increase safety for all road users, MnDOT will propose intersection modifications.
