Remarks

Highway 65 crossing the Saint Anthony Falls

Part of this route was originally part of US Highway 65 . This highway still leads into Minnesota from Iowa , but now ends in Albert Lea where it connects to Interstate 35 . I-35 and I-35W follow roughly the same route as US 65 originally led to Minneapolis. Before the freeways were built, US 65 ran between Burnsville and Minneapolis along Lyndale Avenue.

In July 2005, a small section of Minnesota Highway 65 in central Minneapolis (between Washington Avenue and Interstate 35W ) was rededicated to the city government. The south end is now at the intersection of Third Avenue South and Washington Avenues in central Minneapolis.

Highway 65 is signposted 3rd Avenue South in central Minneapolis and leads to the Third Avenue Bridge . After crossing the river, the name changes to Central Avenue and after the intersection with SE University Avenue it changes to Central Avenue NE . The street retains that name until it split into Ham Lake , with the exception of a split at Fridley and Spring Lake Park between Interstate 694 and US Highway 10 .

Minnesota Highway 65 is a four-lane expressway between I-694 and north of Cambridge . From there to its end in the north of the state, the road runs in two lanes.
