Quick Facts Trunk Highway 54, Location ...

State Highway 54 was authorized in 1920 from Elbow Lake to Herman.[2] In 1934, the east-west portion of this route near Herman became part of State Highway 27.[4]

The route was still gravel in 1949. It was fully paved by 1953.[4]

Highway 54 was turned back to Grant County on June 1, 2020 due to low traffic volumes and its status as a major collector, which functions more as a county state-aid highway or county road. The road is now known as CSAH 54. In exchange, Minnesota State Highway 78 was extended south to Erdahl via CSAH 10.[5][6][7][3]

Major intersections

The entire route was in Grant County.
