Overview

MnDOT completed a Hwy 10 corridor study in southeast St. Cloud in 2023. The results indicated the need for a potential interchange on the northern end of the corridor and various improvements 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 Co. Rd. 3/32nd St. SE.


Public engagement

Next public update and feedback session to be held in summer 2026. More details to come when set.


Intersection study area

The corridor study reviewed the current conditions of the 15th Ave. SE / Hwy 10 intersection and the 12th St. SE (Co. Rd. 7) / Hwy 10 intersection. The 15th Ave. SE intersection is a 4-way intersection that is currently controlled by a traffic signal. The 12th St. SE/Co. Rd. 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 option greatly improves safety and traffic flow at a high cost level.


Additional areas

Haven Township area

MnDOT is also proposing safety and access improvements to the southern end of the corridor through Haven Township. This section of Hwy 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 Hwy 10 corridor provides access to Hwy 10 for a variety of commercial businesses and industrial properties that move freight and other large vehicles frequently. To provide safer movement of these vehicles and improve mobility in the area, MnDOT is proposing access management solutions. Access management solutions could involve limiting the amount of access points to Hwy10 from this business area and other safety measures to allow large vehicles to safely enter and exit the highway.

Co. Rd. 3/32nd St. SE

This intersection along Hwy 10 is currently controlled by a stop sign on Co. Rd. 3/32nd St. E. 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.

MnDOT is also working on a separate Hwy 10 Study – St. Cloud to Little Falls. While both efforts are focused on Hwy 10, they are distinct studies.
