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.
Design concept
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. The project team will continue considering options to retain parking in key areas, including near St. John’s Lutheran Church.
MnDOT is now developing the design for the road and anticipates sharing this with the community in spring 2025.
