State legislation introduced to finish Highway 14
The bills, HF 2427 and SF 2794, would mandate that two unfinished four-lane expansion segments along Highway 14, including New Ulm to North Mankato and Owatonna to Dodge Center, be added to the next update of the State Transportation Improvement Program, or STIP. Updated annually, the STIP is MnDOT’s four-year plan for funding transportation projects. Adding the projects to the STIP ensures MnDOT will begin work on the segments in the next four years, ensuring the projects will be completed in the short- rather than long-term.
These bills respond to MnDOT’s recent plan announcing a delay in completing the Highway 14 projects until the year 2028, at the earliest.
If passed, this legislation would finish Highway 14!
