EspañolU.S. ROUTE 65
(Redirected from U.S. Highway 65)
'U.S. Route 65' is a north-south United States highway stretching from Albert Lea, Minnesota to Clayton, Louisiana. Parts of its modern route in Iowa and historic route in Minnesota follow the old Jefferson Highway.
As of 2006, the highway's southern terminus is at Clayton, Louisiana, at an intersection with U.S. Route 425. Its northern terminus is in Albert Lea, Minnesota, merging into Interstate 35 just south of Interstate 90.[2]
While not as revered in popular culture as Route 66, Highway 65 is mentioned in the song ''Dust n' Bones'' by Guns N' Roses, from the album Use Your Illusion I.
The highway passes through the following states:
U.S. 65 enters Iowa at Lineville. North of Liberty Center, it junctions U.S. Route 69. The two highways run together to the junction of Iowa Highway 5 just south of the Des Moines city limits. U.S. 65 forms the eastern side of the beltway around Des Moines. The highway runs concurrently with Interstate 80 for one mile, before exiting as an expressway running from southwest to northeast. This is part of the expressway connecting Des Moines and Marshalltown. At the junction of Iowa Highway 330 northeast of Bondurant, U.S. 65 becomes a two-lane road again. (The expressway continues along Iowa 330.) U.S. 65 junctions U.S. Route 30 at Colo and U.S. Route 20 south of Iowa Falls. It passes through downtown Mason City before leaving the state north of Northwood.
U.S. 65 enters the state at Gordonsville in Freeborn County. Its first Minnesota junction with Interstate 35 is just southeast of Albert Lea. The highway enters the city proper, reaching downtown before returning to end at Interstate 35. Its total length in Minnesota is 14 miles.
[3]
U.S. 65 is one of three Minnesota U.S. marked highways to carry the same number as an existing state marked highway within the state. The others being Highways 61 and 169.
The Minnesota section of U.S. 65 is defined as part of Route 1 in Minnesota Statutes § 161.114(2).[4]
At its creation in 1926, U.S. 65 ran from St. Paul, Minnesota to Vidalia, Louisiana. Its current endpoints were established in 1980 when a segment paralleling Interstate 35 was dropped in Minnesota.
Until 2005, US 65 ended at U.S. Route 61 in Natchez, Mississippi. US 65 used to extend all the way to New Orleans, along the same route as US 61 from Natchez to New Orleans.
From 1926 to 1934, the original U.S. 65 from Faribault, Minnesota to Saint Paul, followed what today is Minnesota Highway 3. After 1934, U.S. 65 was realigned to follow the present day route of I-35/I-35W from Faribault to Minneapolis. The section of U.S. 65 from Burnsville to Minneapolis originally followed Lyndale Avenue. Even after the completion of I-35/35W, the U.S. 65 designation ran to Minneapolis until 1980. In 1980, the northern terminus of U.S. 65 in Minnesota was shortened to the present day ending in Albert Lea. Beginning at Washington Avenue in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota Highway 65 travels north (where U.S. 65 briefly once had from 1934 to 1935) through Cambridge, Mora, and McGregor before terminating at an intersection with U.S. Highway 71 in Littlefork (just south of International Falls).
In 1934, its route in southern Iowa between Indianola and Leon was replaced by U.S. 69 as it took a new route through Lucas. In 1939, 65 took a new route running northeast of Des Moines.
Between 1994 and 2002 a freeway bypass of Des Moines was constructed and U.S. 65 moved to this new route.
Through central Arkansas, old 65 (now Highway 365) follows close to Interstate 40 between Conway and North Little Rock. In 1999, the 46 mile (74 km) section of U.S. 65 between Interstate 30 at Little Rock and Pine Bluff was designated Interstate 530.
The Mississippi section of U.S. 65 was defined in Mississippi Code Annotated § 65-3-3.
