Study details
MnDOT is conducting a corridor study of Highway 210 from Fergus Falls to Highway 71. This approximately 50-mile corridor serves as a key connection across west-central Minnesota, supporting agricultural, recreational, and commercial travel.
The study will evaluate the needs and safety of both motorized and non-motorized users along the corridor. This includes reviewing intersection safety, identifying potential locations for shoulder widening, and assessing pedestrian connections and accessibility. Highway 210 plays an important role in connecting communities, regional destinations, and area lakes, and experiences a mix of local and through traffic.
As part of the study, the corridor will be divided into key focus areas to better evaluate specific needs and potential improvements. These include:
- Segment 1 – I-94 to CR 35 in Underwood
- Segment 2 – CR 35 in Underwood to Hwy 78 in Battle Lake
- Segment 3 – From Hwy 78 in Battle Lake to Hwy 29
- Segment 4 – Hwy 29 to Hwy 71 in Hewitt
The purpose of the study is to identify opportunities to improve safety, mobility, and accessibility for all users, while supporting the corridor’s role as a vital transportation link for the region.
Study goals
- Improve safety for all users, including people driving, walking, and biking along Highway 210
- Identify cost-effective solutions to reduce crashes at key intersections
- Evaluate opportunities for shoulder widening to enhance safety and mobility
- Improve pedestrian and bicycle connections and accessibility between communities and destinations
