About this project
MnDOT is planning a resurfacing and roadway improvement project on Hwy 30 between Hwy 63 and 5th Ave. NE in Stewartville. Construction is anticipated for summer 2027.
The project team is working on these improvements based on the concept designs and feedback from community members.
- Repave .5 miles of Hwy 30 located entirely within the city limits of Stewartville.
- Replace the traffic signal at the intersection of Hwy 63 and Hwy 30.
- Improve pedestrian facilities on both sides of Hwy 30 and at the intersection of Hwy 30 and Hwy 63.
- Improve accessibility of sidewalks and driveways to meet ADA compliance.
- Introduce traffic calming measures along Hwy 30 to improve safety.
- Improve the right-turn lane and upgrade pedestrian crossings at the intersection of Hwy 63 and Hwy 30.
Design concept
MnDOT has developed a design for the road based on feedback from community members and city officials last year, including potential impacts to driveway access, traffic and parking, such as near St. John’s Lutheran Church. Based on feedback from the community in fall 2024 and additional factors like perceived safety and long-term accessibility, the project team will move forward with design option A.
Option A shifts the Hwy 30 center line north with ADA-compliant sidewalks and a boulevard on both sides of Hwy 30. This allows for on-street parking on the south side of the street with a wider boulevard to improve sidewalks and driveway slopes.
Option A requires fewer impacts to properties and provides broader, longer-term accessibility benefits that will help reduce the need for future construction and disruptions.
