In 2027, the Hwy 14 and Broadway Ave. intersection in Rochester will receive safety improvements. Every day, almost 50,000 vehicles use the intersection. MnDOT and the City of Rochester are looking into changes to reduce crashes and improve crossings for pedestrians and bicyclists.
The project will span west and east on Hwy 14 from 4th Ave. SW to 3rd Ave. SE and north and south from 9th St. SE to the access points north of 14 St. SW. Some portions of this project will include a reconstruction, where all the materials of the road are removed and replaced with new ones.
The team is looking into these changes:
Alter right and left turning lanes
Reduce speeding, especially on Broadway Ave.
Reconstruct Broadway Ave. to 9th St. SE
Adjust crosswalks and install new sidewalks/trails
Upgrade ADA facilities
Replace traffic signal
Improve lighting
Hwy 14 resurfacing
The Hwy 14 corridor in Rochester from Hwy 52 to Crossroads Dr. SW and from 3rd Ave. SE to Marion Rd. SE/15th Ave. SE was resurfaced in the summer of 2025. This project restored ride quality, improved pedestrian mobility and experience, and extended the service life of the highway.
Project work included:
Resurfacing the roadway with a new layer of asphalt
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) reconstruction, including pedestrian ramps, to improve accessibility
Installation of new designated crossing areas to increase pedestrian and bicyclist mobility
