Hwy 14 and Broadway Ave. Intersection


View full-sized image

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

In 2025, 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 will be resurfaced. This project will restore ride quality, improve pedestrian mobility and experience, and extend the service life of the highway. Learn more at the project website.

Project work includes:

  • 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

    Earlier this year, we heard comments from community members who placed a pin on our project comment map. We have also had one-on-one conversations with local businesses and other stakeholders. Based on this feedback, we’ve developed the following design concept for intersection improvements. 

    Your input will help further refine the final safety improvements for the intersection.
