Hwy 14 improvements

Dodge Center to Byron

Construction stages

Construction will occur in two stages; outside and inside lanes. Once construction begins, vehicles will not be able to cross or turn left onto Hwy 14 from Co. Rd. 9. One lane of traffic in each direction on Hwy 14 will be open throughout construction. The bridge improvements at Hwy 57 will start with the inside lanes.

Schedule:

  • Stage 1 work completed by mid-May and J-turn completed by late June
  • Stage 2 work completed by late August

Stage 1 construction

Stage 1 construction will take place in the right lanes and shoulders while traffic is open in the left lanes.

  • Right turn lane extensions and “pork chops” at Co. Rd. 9
  • Bridge approach panels

When the right turn lane extensions and "pork chops" are complete, Stage 2 will begin, even if Stage 1 bridge and overlay work is still being done. This will minimize the need for the Co. Rd. 9 detour.

Stage 2 construction

Stage 2 construction will take place in the left lanes and median while the right lanes will remain open to traffic.
