Constitutional Route between I-90 and U.S. 52, rest authorized
1933. Formerly extended considerably north of its current terminus
at U.S. 52. It followed U.S. 52 to Concord Avenue (now Dakota CSAH
56 and MN-156), then followed Concord
Avenue into St. Paul to Wabasha. Until around 1960 it followed
University Avenue (multiplexed with U.S. 12/52 and
MN-218) to Minneapolis, then followed the entire extent of
current MN-47 from Minneapolis to
Aitkin. Later, it terminated in downtown St. Paul, temporarily was
the designation for the Lafayette Bridge when the Lafayette Freeway
ended at Concord, then terminated at the junction with the
Lafayette Freeway (former MN-3) until completion of that
freeway south of I-494 and its redesignation as U.S. 52 in
1994.
Improvements: Only the segment betwen U.S. 14 and MN-60
paved in 1940. All paved by 1953. Two lane entire
length. |
