Highway 14 New Ulm to North Mankato ADT and Crashes
RSA High Crash Intersections Fatalities (8 total) Serious Injury (5 total)
2009 ADT– 12.6% Heavy Vehicle Traffic (2007-2011 K+A Crashes)
New Ulm Pop. 13,500
Courtland Pop. 600
Nicollet Pop. 1100
North Mankato / Mankato Pop. 52,700
US 14 – New Ulm to North MankatoADT & Serious Crashes
2009 AADT (HCAADT: 12.6%); 2007-2011 K+A Crashes
Constrained
Corridor Typical - (WB Construction Shown)
Constrained Corridor TypicalConstruction - 2018 $16.4M - $24.6M $14.1M - $21.2M
R/W $0.3M $1.0MHigh TensionCable Barrier
$1.7M *$1.2M
*Future Consideration
Additional Pavement & Aggregate needs◦ 14’ inside median vs. 4’ shoulder ◦ Loonheads – U-turns for truck/agg equipment◦ Crown correction–cheaper than drainage structures
Still need R/W (south side utility poles)
Construction Difference
Pavement andaggregates
$1.5M
Loonheads $0.5MCrown
Correction$0.3M
Current R/W Costs - $12K/acre
• Provided by District Real Estate Rep
When Construction + R/W becomes equal between alternatives
• $46K/acre – Assumes HTCB in both alternatives
• $66K/acre – HTCB only in constrained
R/W Cost per acre $12,000

• 8’ SHOULDERS (DIMINISHING RETURNS FOR WIDER SHOULDERS)• KEEP 12’ LANES FOR HIGH SPEED RURAL• MINIMIZE MEDIAN WIDTH (ALLOW 3’ DEFLECTION IN THRU LANES)• RUMBLE STRIPS BOTH SIDES (CRASH HISTORY OF
DROWSY/INATTENTIVE DRIVERS)• STICK WITH TUBE DELINEATORS & CONSIDER CABLE IF FUTURE
NEED
SAVES 10’ OF WIDTH AND UNWARRANTED CABLE BARRIER~$1.5M+$1.7M
• 53’ MEDIAN WIDTH WITH 1:4 INSLOPES AND 10’ DITCH BOTTOM (SAVES 13’ AND ALLOWS SPACE FOR RCI)
• 12’ RIGHT LANE AND 8’ SHLD ON WB TH 14 (SAVES ADDITIONAL 2’) DELAY INSTALL OF CABLE BARRIER UNTIL WARRANTS ARE MET
SAVES 25’ OF R/W FOR ENTIRE PROJECT~$230,000 r/w +MATERIAL COSTS+$1.2M CABLE
RAISED MEDIAN BARRIER•USE OF 2’ SHLD REDUCES MEDIAN WIDTH BY 8’ •REDUCED MAINTENANCE AND SNOW MELT PROBLEMS•SIMILAR COST TO HIGH TENSION CABLE BARRIER•USE OF 8’ SHLD LIKE OPTION 1 YIELDS 10’ WIDTH REDUCTION
WIDTH REDUCTION SAVES ~$1.5M
Tech Memo
Constrained◦ Pros
Less impacts to farmland/wetlands
Evaluation for other corridors statewide
◦ Cons Higher Construction Cost Higher Maintenance Cost
Corridor Typical◦ Pros
Lower Construction Cost Introduction of alternative
intersection treatment types – RCUTs
Lower Maintenance Cost
◦ Cons Additional
farmland/wetland impacts
Construction◦ $10M - $15M
4-lanes only No Interchange
R/W◦ $4M
4-lanes Relocations Interchange
*Currently Unfunded
Why to west?◦ RSA – Critical Crash rate intersections
TH 14/TH 111 in Nicollet TH 14/TH 99 in Nicollet
◦ Local and Political Momentum Local Infrastructure planning/needs
Wastewater treatment planning – North Mankato City expanding
2000 population – 890 2010 population – 1100 23.5% increase
TH 14/TH 15 Intersection Discussion◦ Alternatives◦ Discussion of inclusion with MN River Bridge in
New Ulm in 2018
