Highway 14 Detour For Certain Vehicles During Expansion Project

Owatonna, MN (KROC-AM News) - Westbound Highway 14 vehicles that are required to stop for at-grade railroad crossings, including buses and those carrying hazardous materials, will be detoured around the railroad tracks.

According to a news release from the Minnesota Department of Transportation, the work is part of the Highway 14 expansion project between Dodge Center and Owatonna, and crews are working on the road area on the west end of the project and must close a lane.

Those traveling eastbound will not have a detour.
