National Highway System pavement projects
MnDOT District 6
Learn more about how MnDOT evaluates and selects pavement projects
MnDOT scores stretches of highway based on a pavement need when selecting projects to include in the 10-year Capital Highway Investment Plan. Pavement needs on the National Highway System (NHS) are scored and selected separately from pavement needs off the system. MnDOT’s approach to managing pavements follows the guidance and targets in the Transportation Asset Management Plan and the planned outcomes in MnSHIP.
Pavement projects are scored and selected within each district. Potential pavement projects are identified by the Highway Pavement Management Application (HPMA) and by MnDOT District staff.
Once selected, MnDOT then identifies and evaluates alternatives and other needs, legal requirements, issues and opportunities in coordination with local partners, and considers public input. In the process, non-pavement work may be added to a pavement project or a pavement project may be combined with a nearby bridge project. The department follows a context-sensitive complete streets approach, which considers the needs of all users. The final project may address a substantial number of needs beyond the pavement need that precipitated the project. Projects may move years based on local coordination, project delivery, timing of other nearby construction projects, and funding shifts.

How the projects scored
The construction costs shown on this list represent a very rough estimate based on limited information available at the time selection decisions were made. Actual construction and delivery costs will change over time as projects go from a concept through the project development process and are eventually constructed. View more detailed scores (Excel).
