Study area map Highway 52 from Hader to ZumbrotaView full-size mapWe are conducting a PEL, or Planning and Environmental Linkages, study of the Hwy 52. The study is examining the corridor between Hader and Zumbrota. The goal is to investigate what Hwy 52 may look like in the future. This includes potential changes and an analysis of the impacts each choice may have.

Specific elements considered include:

  • Safety
  • Manage access
  • Freight movement
  • Agricultural needs
  • Congestion
  • Economic development
  • Community needs

The input will help the project team determine community values. It will also help inform the team as they look into specific changes. This study is being done in partnership with Goodhue County.

Update

Our team has completed analyzing the concepts using the input from the community and our technical knowledge.

An update of our progress can be found below in the March 2024 update.

*Note: The concepts were called alternatives in previous phases.

  • Design Alternative Survey - Summer 2023

    If you have any questions or comments, please reach out to Cindy Morgan at cindy.morgan@state.mn.us or 507-951-6593. She would be happy to assist you.

    Over the past year, community members shared their experiences on Hwy 52 from Hader to Zumbrota. The project team has created design alternatives based on what we heard. People attending the meeting can provide input on how these alternatives meet their needs. 

    The top four priorities that people felt were important to the future of Hwy 52 were: 

    • Improving safety 
    • Managing access and congestion 
    • Addressing agricultural needs 
    • Creating a vision for the future 

    The input will help the project team further pinpoint community needs and develop specific changes to Hwy 52.
