US 8 originally ended at US 61 in Forest Lake. In 1931, it was extended into downtown Minneapolis, to end here at 3rd Ave and Washington Ave. At the time, US 12/52 ran along Washington, and US 65 ran on the other side of 3rd Ave and also ended here. Today, only MN 65 goes through this intersection. Photo by Adam Froehlig. |

In 1978, with ongoing construction and completion of I-35W, US 8 was truncated from downtown Minneapolis to this point, the I-35W/New Brighton Blvd interchange, though sources are unclear as to whether US 8 actually terminated here or terminated at the E. Broadway/New Brighton Blvd intersection 1/4 mile behind this location. Either way, this terminus was short-lived, as in 1981, it was truncated yet again to its current terminus in Forest Lake. |
