Fictional Exit List for MN 77, MN 62 to MN 55

mn77.gif (1279 bytes) Fictional Exit Guide

From: Minneapolis
To: EAST, Minneapolis

This fictional exit list represents what a freeway might have looked like along Cedar Ave in Minneapolis, based on available information that I have found. The Cedar Ave corridor was one that was considered for a limited access freeway in Minneapolis, with some plans dating as far back as the 1940s. All/any plans for a freeway along Cedar Ave within the city limits were scrapped in 1970. My idea here reflects what the freeway might have looked like in today's times. Although this freeway was originally planned as MN 36, I have posted it here as MN 77 for local familiarity (the existing MN 77 freeway ends at MN 62, at the southern end of this list).

This guide follows north, as the mileposts do, so if you are heading southbound, go to the bottom and scroll up. At freeway/freeway junctions where no control cities exist, none are listed. Italics indicate destinations/routes not marked as such. Where the background of a state or county route marker is black, the marked route is not indicated on freeway signage. Equivalent exit numbers are in parenthesis and italics. Route shields framed in blue indicate Exit List continuations (click on the shield to continue).
