WINONA, Minn. — Drainage improvements on U.S. Highway 14 over Stockton Hill have been completed and barricades removed on the Winona-Stockton shortcut. “The road is fully open,” said state Transportation Department spokesperson Micheal Dougherty. There are no surprises: Same curves, same rough pavement patches. The project addressed serious drainage issues along the slope. Crews also widened shoulders and replaced guardrails. New paving is due next year. Traffic will be one lane for the repaving but not detoured, Dougherty said.
