Four-lane highway now continuous from New Ulm to Rochester
Governor Tim Walz and Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan today stood alongside a bipartisan group of legislators and community leaders to open the last stretch of Highway 14 that completes a continuous four-lane highway between New Ulm and Rochester. Photos from the event are attached.
Governor Walz’s advocacy on this project spans back to his time in Congress and the death of his neighbor in Mankato.
“As someone who has lost a neighbor on this road, I know that for the Minnesotans who travel Highway 14 every day, this project is personal. After years of working on this in Congress, I’m incredibly proud to see the final miles of this project completed,” said Governor Walz. “Today, I am keeping all who have lost loved ones on this highway in my thoughts. This expansion will keep Minnesotans safe while expanding economic activity across southern Minnesota.”

Later in life, he retired to New Bern, NC; Hill City, SD; and Mesquite, NV to do the things he really enjoyed: golf, 4-wheeling, sailing, and tennis. His wishes were to have his ashes spread in the Black Hills of South Dakota, which he loved so much.
