Extension of csah 116/fletcher bypass, city of rogers, MN

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $7.1 million to the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) on June 20, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to support the extension of County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 116/Fletcher Bypass in Rogers, Minnesota. The project encompasses construction of a bypass lane, two roundabouts, a multi-use trail, pedestrian warning flashing system, lighting infrastructure, and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant improvements along a 1.2-mile corridor from south of CSAH 159 to the intersection at CSAH 81.

This Highway Planning and Construction project represents a comprehensive roadway modernization initiative designed to enhance transportation safety, improve traffic flow, and support multimodal connectivity in the Rogers area. The scope of work—including roundabout construction, active transportation facilities, and accessibility improvements—aligns with current FHWA program priorities emphasizing infrastructure resilience, safety enhancements, and integrated transportation network development. As the state transportation authority, MnDOT will administer the project in accordance with federal stewardship and oversight requirements, environmental review standards, and applicable federal regulations governing highway infrastructure development.
