Route description

Highway 89 serves as a north–south route between Bemidji, Red Lake, Grygla, Roseau, and the Canadian border.

The route is also known as 5th Avenue SW in the city of Roseau.

Hayes Lake State Park is located 9 miles east of the junction of Highway 89 and Roseau County Road 4. The park entrance is located on Roseau County Road 4.^[2]

Highway 89 is concurrent with State Highway 1 for 28 miles (45 km) on the southwest side of Red Lake. This is the longest concurrency with another state highway within Minnesota.

A new U.S. Highway 2 interchange with State Highway 89 in Eckles Township is planned for 2012.

The route is legally defined as Legislative Routes 136 and 218 in the Minnesota Statutes.^[3] It is not marked with these numbers.

History

Highway 89 was authorized in 1933 from U.S. 2 near Bemidji to State Highway 11 at Roseau. The route was extended in 1949 from State Highway 11 to the Canadian border.^[4]

The route was mostly gravel in 1953. The last section to be paved was the west side of Red Lake, circa 1963.^[4]

Adjoining Manitoba Highway 89 was numbered to correspond with Minnesota Highway 89.
