Eastbound on the south side of Owatonna at Steele CSAH 45 exit.  CSAH 45 is an old routing of US 65.  Photo by Adam Froehlig, taken April 22, 2003.

The junction with Steele CSAH 6 is a right-in/right-out intersection.  Formerly a standard 4-way intersection, the crossing was eliminated when US 14 was upgraded to 4 lanes in the early 2000s.  As part of a long-range goal to freeway this part of US 14, an overpass, a frontage road, or simply closing the intersection are being considered here at CSAH 6.  Photo by Adam Froehlig, taken April 22, 2003.

At the US 218 South exit.  US 218 duplexes with US between I-35 and here.  Formerly a 1-quadrant "interchange", this junction was upgraded to a folded-diamond interchange when US 14 was 4-laned in the early 2000s.  Photo by Adam Froehlig, taken April 22, 2003.

Westbound where US 218 joins US 14.  Photo by Adam Froehlig, taken April 22, 2003.
