Project: Minnesota Highway 60
Summary
From 1993 to 2002, Highway 60 was widened from two to four lanes between the MN state lane to Windom, MN. Driven primarily by safety concerns, the widened highway also improved regional access to southwestern Minnesota's agricultural, bio-energy, food processing, and manufacturing industries.
