Highway in
Minnesota . The roadway is one of three Minnesota state marked highways to carry the same number as an existing U.S. marked highway within the state. The others being Highways
61 and
169 .
Minnesota 65 is 273 miles in length.
Minnesota Highway 65 begins at Washington Avenue (
Hennepin County Road 152) at the north end of downtown
Minneapolis and continues north to
U.S. Highway 71 in
Littlefork (just south of
International Falls ).
]]A portion of the highway used to be part of
U.S. Highway 65 . That highway still enters Minnesota from
Iowa , but ends now in
Albert Lea where it joins
Interstate 35 . I-35 and I-35W roughly follows the same route U.S. 65 used to take to Minneapolis (before the freeways were built, the original U.S. 65 had followed Lyndale Avenue between Burnsville and Minneapolis).
In July
2005 , a small section of Minnesota Highway 65 in downtown Minneapolis (between Washington Avenue and
I-35W ) was turned back to city maintenance. The southern terminus of Minnesota Highway 65 is now at the intersection of 3rd Avenue South and Washington Avenue in downtown Minneapolis.
Highway 65 is signed locally as 3rd Avenue South in downtown Minneapolis. 3rd Avenue South leads to the
Third Avenue (Mississippi River) Bridge and becomes Central Avenue upon crossing the river. After the intersection with
SE University Avenue , it becomes Central Avenue NE. Highway 65 is signed locally as Central Avenue NE for this section. It remains Central Avenue until separating in
Ham Lake , except for a split in
Fridley and
Spring Lake Park between
I-694 and
U.S. Highway 10 .
