At {{convert|343.723|mi|km}} in length, it is the second longest state route in Minnesota, after [[Minnesota State Highway 1|MN&nbsp;1]]. This route, signed east–west, runs roughly diagonally across Minnesota from southwest to northeast. It indirectly connects [[Duluth, Minnesota|Duluth]] to [[Sioux Falls, South Dakota]], and passes through the cities of [[St. Cloud, Minnesota|St. Cloud]], [[Willmar, Minnesota|Willmar]], and [[Marshall, Minnesota|Marshall]]. MN&nbsp;23 runs north from its interchange with [[Interstate 90 in Minnesota|Interstate 90]] (I-90), {{convert|1.05|mi|km}} east of the South Dakota line and {{convert|13|mi|km}} east of Sioux Falls and then continues north and east across Minnesota to its terminus at its interchange with [[Interstate 35 in Minnesota|I-35]] in Duluth. ==Route description== MN&nbsp;23 directly serves [[Pipestone, Minnesota|Pipestone]], [[Marshall, Minnesota|Marshall]], [[Granite Falls, Minnesota|Granite Falls]], [[Willmar, Minnesota|Willmar]], [[Paynesville, Minnesota|Paynesville]], [[Cold Spring, Minnesota|Cold Spring]], [[St. Cloud, Minnesota|St. Cloud]], [[Foley, Minnesota|Foley]], [[Milaca, Minnesota|Milaca]], [[Mora, Minnesota|Mora]], [[Hinckley, Minnesota|Hinckley]], [[Sandstone, Minnesota|Sandstone]], and [[Duluth, Minnesota|Duluth]]. Portions of MN&nbsp;23 that have been upgraded to a four-lane [[Limited-access road|expressway]] include approximately {{convert|9|mi|km|spell=in}} in the Marshall area in addition to longer stretches between Willmar and New London, and between Richmond and Waite Park (St. Cloud). For a majority of the Willmar area, MN&nbsp;23 [[Concurrency (road)|runs concurrently]] with [[U.S. Route 71|U.S. Highway&nbsp;71]] (US&nbsp;71), which includes a [[freeway]] bypass of the city. MN&nbsp;23 crosses the [[Minnesota River]] at [[Granite Falls, Minnesota|Granite Falls]], and the [[Mississippi River]] in [[St. Cloud, Minnesota|St. Cloud]], over the [[Granite City Crossing]] bridge. Running over surface streets in certain towns, MN&nbsp;23 is also known as: *Division Street in [[St. Cloud, Minnesota|St. Cloud]] *4th Street in downtown [[Milaca, Minnesota|Milaca]] *Forest Avenue East in [[Mora, Minnesota|Mora]], between [[Minnesota State Highway 65|MN 65]] and Oslin Road *Grand Avenue in [[Duluth, Minnesota|Duluth]]; the section of Grand Avenue that is marked MN&nbsp;23 is from 59th Avenue West and [[Interstate 35 in Minnesota|I-35]] (in [[West Duluth]]) to Idaho Street (in the Morgan Park neighborhood) *Commonwealth Avenue in the Gary-New Duluth neighborhood of the city of Duluth *Evergreen Memorial Highway in the Fond du Lac neighborhood of the city of Duluth ===Parks and monuments=== The highway serves: *[[Split Rock Creek State Park]] in [[Pipestone County, Minnesota|Pipestone County]] at [[Ihlen, Minnesota|Ihlen]] *[[Pipestone National Monument]] *[[Camden State Park]] in [[Lyon County, Minnesota|Lyon County]] on the banks of the [[Redwood River]] *[[Banning State Park]] in [[Pine County, Minnesota|Pine County]] on the banks of the [[Kettle River (Minnesota)|Kettle River]] ===Evergreen Memorial Scenic Drive=== About {{convert|50|mi|km}} of MN&nbsp;23 that travels through [[Pine County, Minnesota|Pine]], [[Carlton County, Minnesota|Carlton]], and [[St. Louis County, Minnesota|Saint Louis]] counties is officially designated the Veterans Evergreen Memorial Scenic Drive. This portion is between [[Interstate 35 in Minnesota|I-35]] near [[Askov, Minnesota|Askov]] and the Gary-New Duluth neighborhood of [[Duluth, Minnesota|Duluth]], near [[Minnesota State Highway 39|MN&nbsp;39]]. The scenic roadway offers views of Banning State Park, the [[Saint Louis River (Lake Superior tributary)|Saint Louis River]] valley, and nearby [[Jay Cooke State Park]]. The 2005 Minnesota Legislature officially designated the MN&nbsp;23 Bridge over the Saint Louis River at Duluth ([[Fond du Lac (Duluth)|Fond du Lac]] neighborhood) as the Biauswah Bridge.<ref name=laws2005>{{cite web |url = https://www.revisor.mn.gov/laws/2005/1/6/ |title = Chapter 6-H.F.No. 140 |work = Minnesota Session Laws - 2005, 1st Special Session |date = July 14, 2005 |publisher = Minnesota Office of the Revisor of Statutes |access-date = March 10, 2019 }}</ref> On June 28, 2008, this bridge was dedicated as such in honor of American Indian veterans. ===Segment in Wisconsin=== MN&nbsp;23 has the rare distinction of being a state highway that passes through another state. At 133rd Avenue West, along the southern edge of [[Duluth, Minnesota|Duluth]], MN&nbsp;23 crosses the [[Saint Louis River (Lake Superior tributary)|Saint Louis River]] into [[Douglas County, Wisconsin]], in the [[Superior (town), Wisconsin|Town of Superior]], for {{convert|1/2|mi|m|spell=in}} before re-entering Minnesota.<ref>{{cite map |url = http://www.wisconsindot.gov/Documents/travel/road/hwy-maps/county-maps/douglas.pdf |author = Wisconsin Department of Transportation |date = January 2021 |title = ((Douglas Co.)) |scale = 1:100,000 |location = Madison |publisher = Wisconsin Department of Transportation |access-date = June 27, 2021 }}</ref> On some maps, this section is designated "WISC-23", despite there being [[Wisconsin Highway 23|another Highway&nbsp;23]] in southern Wisconsin.{{citation needed|date=May 2016}} There is no signage, however, along the highway that indicates the brief route across state lines. Nearby is the junction between MN&nbsp;23 and [[Minnesota State Highway 210|MN&nbsp;210]] and [[Jay Cooke State Park]]. ==History== MN&nbsp;23 was authorized November 2, 1920, from [[Paynesville, Minnesota|Paynesville]] to [[Mission Creek, Minnesota|Mission Creek]], south of [[Hinckley, Minnesota|Hinckley]].<ref name=babcock>{{cite web |url = https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/?id=161.114 |work = Minnesota Statutes |title = § 161.114, Constitutional Trunk Highways |publisher = Minnesota Office of the Revisor of Statutes |author = Minnesota State Legislature |date = 2010 |access-date = October 13, 2010 }}</ref> By 1933, the highway was paved between Roscoe and Cold Spring and from St. Cloud to Mission Creek.<ref name=1933map>{{cite MnDOT map |year = 1933 |sections = G16–M14 |access-date = March 5, 2019 }}</ref> It was extended west to [[Benson, Minnesota|Benson]] and east to Duluth in 1934.<ref name=1934map>{{cite MnDOT map |year = 1934 |sections = E16–O11 |access-date = March 5, 2019 }}</ref> Various sections of the highway were paved from the 1930s through the 1950s; the entire length was paved by 1961. The section of present-day MN&nbsp;23 from its southern terminus to Marshall was originally designated MN&nbsp;39 until 1940. The section between Marshall and [[Willmar, Minnesota|Willmar]] was originally designated MN&nbsp;17 until 1940.<ref>{{cite news |title = 1941 Roads Map is Now Available |url = https://www.newspapers.com/clip/40804550/mn_changes_may_5_1941/ |access-date = December 19, 2019 |work = [[Star Tribune|Minneapolis Star Journal]] |date = May 5, 1941 |page = 16 |via = Newspapers.com }}</ref> The MN&nbsp;23 designation originally extended west from [[New London, Minnesota|New London]] to [[Benson, Minnesota|Benson]] along the modern [[Minnesota State Highway 9|MN&nbsp;9]]; which was also MN&nbsp;17 from around 1940 to the 1960s. MN&nbsp;23 originally ran through [[Sandstone, Minnesota|Sandstone]] proper to just west of [[Askov, Minnesota|Askov]] along the route that later became [[Minnesota State Highway 123|MN&nbsp;123]]; this was redesignated {{circa}} 1946. From 1934 to 1963, the northern terminus for MN&nbsp;23 was its junction with old [[U.S. Route 61|US&nbsp; 61]] and [[U.S. Route 2 in Minnesota|US&nbsp;2]] in [[West Duluth]]. From 1963 to 1997, MN&nbsp;23 continued farther into Duluth proper as a business route using several local arteries including Michigan Street, West 1st Street, East 2nd Street, East 3rd Street, and East Superior Street. The former northern terminus for MN&nbsp;23 during this time period was at the intersection of US&nbsp;61 (now MN&nbsp;61) and 60th Avenue East in Duluth. In 1997, the official northern terminus changed to its junction with [[Interstate 35 in Minnesota|I-35]] at Grand Avenue in Duluth. After completion of the [[Interstate 35 in Minnesota|I-35]] freeway, the state maintained MN&nbsp;23 through [[Hinckley, Minnesota|Hinckley]] and Sandstone; now MN&nbsp;23 [[Concurrency (road)|runs concurrently]] with I-35 from Hinckley to Sandstone. The four-lane US&nbsp;71 / MN&nbsp;23 [[Bypass (road)|bypass]] of Willmar was proposed in the 1960s. However a financial crisis in the early 1980s led to the northbound lanes being unpaved, and the bypass had been scaled down to a two-lane facility by the time it opened in 1985. Construction in 2001 completed the bypass to its original four-lane design.<ref name="willmar1">{{cite news |title = Willmar bypass opens |last = Korsgaard |first = Kay |work = MnDOT Newsline |publisher = Minnesota Department of Transportation |url = http://www.newsline.dot.state.mn.us/archive/01/nov/14.html#6 |access-date = November 10, 2007 }}</ref><ref name="willmar2">{{cite press release |title = Willmar Bypass Opens with Silver Ribbon Cutting |publisher = Minnesota Department of Transportation |author = District 8 |date = November 19, 2001 |url = http://www3.dot.state.mn.us/d8/newsrels/01/1119bypassribboncutting.html |access-date = November 10, 2007 |url-status = dead |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080104165249/http://www3.dot.state.mn.us/d8/newsrels/01/1119bypassribboncutting.html |archive-date = January 4, 2008 }}</ref> The MN&nbsp;23 expressway from [[Spicer, Minnesota|Spicer]] to [[New London, Minnesota|New London]], and the expressway from [[Richmond, Minnesota|Richmond]] to [[Waite Park, Minnesota|Waite Park]] ([[St. Cloud, Minnesota|St. Cloud]]), were both completed by 2005.

The DeSoto Bridge was demolished in October 2008, and a new replacement bridge, the [[Granite City Crossing]], was completed on October 29, 2009. The Paynesville Bypass project began on April 26, 2010. The project consists of constructing a four-lane bypass around Paynesville, running from County Road 6 (CR&nbsp;6) in Kandiyohi County to CR&nbsp;123 in Stearns County.

This project expanded an {{convert|8|mi|km|adj=on|spell=in}} segment of the highway. While this section is technically part of the St. Cloud-to-I-35 portion of the corridor (and thus has less overall priority), the increase in traffic along this particular stretch still necessitates and warrants expansion, as there have been major safety and mobility issues the last couple decades due to growth in the St. Cloud area.{{cn|date=January 2020}} ==Future== MnDOT has designated MN&nbsp;23 as a medium-priority Interregional Corridor along the majority of its length. As such, there are long-range plans to expand significant portions of the highway from two to four lanes. This resulted in the creation of the Highway&nbsp;23 Coalition, and its ultimate vision for MN&nbsp;23 is a four-lane expressway running from its interchange with [[Interstate 90 in Minnesota|I-90]] in the southwest corner of Minnesota northeastward to its interchange with [[Interstate 35 in Minnesota|I-35]] near [[Hinckley, Minnesota|Hinckley]], although severe funding shortages are currently limiting expansion to certain segments.<ref>{{Cite news |first = Shelby |last = Lindrud |date = October 29, 2021 |title = A vision of four lanes from one corner of the state to the other |url = https://www.wctrib.com/news/a-vision-of-four-lanes-from-one-corner-of-the-state-to-the-other |access-date = February 11, 2023 |newspaper = [[West Central Tribune]] |location = Willmar, Minnesota |language = en }}</ref> Currently, the section of highway that has the highest overall priority for expansion is the corridor between Willmar and St. Cloud. This is due in part to the corridor carrying a heavy volume of traffic (higher than what a standard two-lane highway is designed to safely carry), plus a subsequently higher-than-average accident rate. In addition, southwest Minnesota lacks four-lane access to both the Twin Cities ([[Minneapolis–Saint Paul]]) and the [[Interstate Highway System]], and a MN&nbsp;23 expressway from Willmar (which is the largest municipality in southwest Minnesota) to St. Cloud would greatly alleviate both these issues. The "Gaps" project is a multi-stage project to widen MN&nbsp;23 to four lanes in the two remaining two-lane sections between Willmar and St. Cloud. The {{convert|9|mi|km|adj=on|spell=in}} North Gap started expansion in May 2022, and is expected to complete in November 2023.<ref>{{cite news |url = https://www.wctrib.com/news/local/main-detour-begins-may-16-for-minnesota-highway-23-north-gap-project-from-paynesville-to-richmond |title = Main detour begins May 16 for Minnesota Highway 23 North Gap project from Paynesville to Richmond |newspaper = West Central Tribune |location = Willmar, Minnesota |date = May 11, 2022 |access-date = October 4, 2022 }}</ref> The {{convert|7|mi|km|adj=on}} South Gap is planned to begin in 2023 and be completed in 2024.<ref>{{cite web |url = https://highway23coalition.com/news/highway-23-gaps-groundbreaking-celebration-2/ |title = Highway 23 Gaps Groundbreaking Celebration |publisher = Highway 23 Coalition |date = April 15, 2022 |access-date = October 4, 2022 }}</ref> ==Major intersections== {{Jcttop|state_col=state|length_ref=<ref name=logpoint>{{cite web |url = http://www.dot.state.mn.us/roadway/data/reports/logpoint/statelpt.pdf |title = Trunk Highway Log Point Listing |format = PDF |publisher = [[Minnesota Department of Transportation]] |date = September 6, 2011 |access-date = October 4, 2011 |url-status = dead |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120914220734/http://www.dot.state.mn.us/roadway/data/reports/logpoint/statelpt.pdf |archive-date = September 14, 2012 }}</ref>}} {{MNint|sspan=53 |county=Rock |cspan=2 |township=Beaver Creek |ctdab=Rock |lspan=2 |type=closed |mile=0.000 |road={{jct|state=MN|US 1961|16}} |notes=Programmed mile 0;

At {{convert|343.723|mi|km}} in length, it is the second longest state route in Minnesota, after [[Minnesota State Highway 1|MN&nbsp;1]]. This route, signed east–west, runs roughly diagonally across Minnesota from southwest to northeast. It indirectly connects [[Duluth, Minnesota|Duluth]] to [[Sioux Falls, South Dakota]], and passes through the cities of [[St. Cloud, Minnesota|St. Cloud]], [[Willmar, Minnesota|Willmar]], and [[Marshall, Minnesota|Marshall]]. MN&nbsp;23 runs north from its interchange with [[Interstate 90 in Minnesota|Interstate 90]] (I-90), {{convert|1.05|mi|km}} east of the South Dakota line and {{convert|13|mi|km}} east of Sioux Falls and then continues north and east across Minnesota to its terminus at its interchange with [[Interstate 35 in Minnesota|I-35]] in Duluth. ==Route description== MN&nbsp;23 directly serves [[Pipestone, Minnesota|Pipestone]], [[Marshall, Minnesota|Marshall]], [[Granite Falls, Minnesota|Granite Falls]], [[Willmar, Minnesota|Willmar]], [[Paynesville, Minnesota|Paynesville]], [[Cold Spring, Minnesota|Cold Spring]], [[St. Cloud, Minnesota|St. Cloud]], [[Foley, Minnesota|Foley]], [[Milaca, Minnesota|Milaca]], [[Mora, Minnesota|Mora]], [[Hinckley, Minnesota|Hinckley]], [[Sandstone, Minnesota|Sandstone]], and [[Duluth, Minnesota|Duluth]]. Portions of MN&nbsp;23 that have been upgraded to a four-lane [[Limited-access road|expressway]] include approximately {{convert|9|mi|km|spell=in}} in the Marshall area in addition to longer stretches between Willmar and New London, and between Richmond and Waite Park (St. Cloud). For a majority of the Willmar area, MN&nbsp;23 [[Concurrency (road)|runs concurrently]] with [[U.S. Route 71|U.S. Highway&nbsp;71]] (US&nbsp;71), which includes a [[freeway]] bypass of the city. MN&nbsp;23 crosses the [[Minnesota River]] at [[Granite Falls, Minnesota|Granite Falls]], and the [[Mississippi River]] in [[St. Cloud, Minnesota|St. Cloud]], over the [[Granite City Crossing]] bridge. Running over surface streets in certain towns, MN&nbsp;23 is also known as: *Division Street in [[St. Cloud, Minnesota|St. Cloud]] *4th Street in downtown [[Milaca, Minnesota|Milaca]] *Forest Avenue East in [[Mora, Minnesota|Mora]], between [[Minnesota State Highway 65|MN 65]] and Oslin Road *Grand Avenue in [[Duluth, Minnesota|Duluth]]; the section of Grand Avenue that is marked MN&nbsp;23 is from 59th Avenue West and [[Interstate 35 in Minnesota|I-35]] (in [[West Duluth]]) to Idaho Street (in the Morgan Park neighborhood) *Commonwealth Avenue in the Gary-New Duluth neighborhood of the city of Duluth *Evergreen Memorial Highway in the Fond du Lac neighborhood of the city of Duluth ===Parks and monuments=== The highway serves: *[[Split Rock Creek State Park]] in [[Pipestone County, Minnesota|Pipestone County]] at [[Ihlen, Minnesota|Ihlen]] *[[Pipestone National Monument]] *[[Camden State Park]] in [[Lyon County, Minnesota|Lyon County]] on the banks of the [[Redwood River]] *[[Banning State Park]] in [[Pine County, Minnesota|Pine County]] on the banks of the [[Kettle River (Minnesota)|Kettle River]] ===Evergreen Memorial Scenic Drive=== About {{convert|50|mi|km}} of MN&nbsp;23 that travels through [[Pine County, Minnesota|Pine]], [[Carlton County, Minnesota|Carlton]], and [[St. Louis County, Minnesota|Saint Louis]] counties is officially designated the Veterans Evergreen Memorial Scenic Drive. This portion is between [[Interstate 35 in Minnesota|I-35]] near [[Askov, Minnesota|Askov]] and the Gary-New Duluth neighborhood of [[Duluth, Minnesota|Duluth]], near [[Minnesota State Highway 39|MN&nbsp;39]]. The scenic roadway offers views of Banning State Park, the [[Saint Louis River (Lake Superior tributary)|Saint Louis River]] valley, and nearby [[Jay Cooke State Park]].

MN&nbsp;23 originally ran through [[Sandstone, Minnesota|Sandstone]] proper to just west of [[Askov, Minnesota|Askov]] along the route that later became [[Minnesota State Highway 123|MN&nbsp;123]]; this was redesignated {{circa}} 1946. From 1934 to 1963, the northern terminus for MN&nbsp;23 was its junction with old [[U.S. Route 61|US&nbsp; 61]] and [[U.S. Route 2 in Minnesota|US&nbsp;2]] in [[West Duluth]]. From 1963 to 1997, MN&nbsp;23 continued farther into Duluth proper as a business route using several local arteries including Michigan Street, West 1st Street, East 2nd Street, East 3rd Street, and East Superior Street. The former northern terminus for MN&nbsp;23 during this time period was at the intersection of US&nbsp;61 (now MN&nbsp;61) and 60th Avenue East in Duluth. In 1997, the official northern terminus changed to its junction with [[Interstate 35 in Minnesota|I-35]] at Grand Avenue in Duluth. After completion of the [[Interstate 35 in Minnesota|I-35]] freeway, the state maintained MN&nbsp;23 through [[Hinckley, Minnesota|Hinckley]] and Sandstone; now MN&nbsp;23 [[Concurrency (road)|runs concurrently]] with I-35 from Hinckley to Sandstone. The four-lane US&nbsp;71 / MN&nbsp;23 [[Bypass (road)|bypass]] of Willmar was proposed in the 1960s. However a financial crisis in the early 1980s led to the northbound lanes being unpaved, and the bypass had been scaled down to a two-lane facility by the time it opened in 1985.

While this section is technically part of the St. Cloud-to-I-35 portion of the corridor (and thus has less overall priority), the increase in traffic along this particular stretch still necessitates and warrants expansion, as there have been major safety and mobility issues the last couple decades due to growth in the St. Cloud area.{{cn|date=January 2020}} ==Future== MnDOT has designated MN&nbsp;23 as a medium-priority Interregional Corridor along the majority of its length. As such, there are long-range plans to expand significant portions of the highway from two to four lanes.

This is due in part to the corridor carrying a heavy volume of traffic (higher than what a standard two-lane highway is designed to safely carry), plus a subsequently higher-than-average accident rate. In addition, southwest Minnesota lacks four-lane access to both the Twin Cities ([[Minneapolis–Saint Paul]]) and the [[Interstate Highway System]], and a MN&nbsp;23 expressway from Willmar (which is the largest municipality in southwest Minnesota) to St. Cloud would greatly alleviate both these issues. The "Gaps" project is a multi-stage project to widen MN&nbsp;23 to four lanes in the two remaining two-lane sections between Willmar and St. Cloud.
