Highway 49 was commissioned in 1933, running from [[U.S. Route 8]] in Lino Lakes to Minnesota Highway 5 in St. Paul. In 1950, it was extended over what had been [[Minnesota State Highway 88]], across the [[High Bridge (St. Paul)|High Bridge]] south to MN 218 (later MN 3). When I-35W was completed in 1966 and US 8 was moved to it, 49 was extended along the former route of 8 and also replaced State Highway 326, which served the Correctional Facility in Lino Lakes. In 1981 the highway south of MN 5 was renumbered [[Minnesota State Highway 149|149]]. The remainder of the highway was decommissioned in 1997-1998, the Rice Street and Hodgson Road portions becoming County Road 49, the Lake Drive portion becoming County Road 23, and Lilac Street becoming County Road 153.

At its greatest length, Highway 49 ran from State Highway 3 (formerly Highway 218) in Inver Grove Heights, continuing north through downtown St. Paul, and ending at the Lino Lakes Correctional Facility.

History

[edit]

Highway 49 was commissioned in 1933, running from State Highway 5 in downtown Saint Paul to then-U.S. Highway 8 in Lino Lakes. In 1950, it was extended over what had been State Highway 88 (present day State Highway 149), across the High Bridge southbound to old State Highway 218 (later renumbered Highway 3) in Inver Grove Heights. When a portion of Interstate 35W was constructed in 1966 and old U.S. 8 was moved to it at Lino Lakes, Highway 49 was then extended north along the former route of U.S. 8 and also replaced old State Highway 326, which served the Lino Lakes Correctional Facility. In 1981, the route south of Highway 5 was renumbered 149 (Smith Avenue and Dodd Road). The remainder of Highway 49 was decommissioned in 1997-1998, the Rice Street and Hodgson Road portions becoming County Road 49, the Lake Drive portion becoming County Road 23, and Lilac Street becoming County Road 153.
