I90 across Minnesota

A few years ago I drove I90 across Minnesota and it was horrible ! Anyone know if this road has been improved ? Thanks for your help, Dave

    It's not a horrible road. As I previously said, been a few years since I've been on it. But it is rougher as far as my memory goes compared to say I-29 in the Dakotas, or I-90 across South Dakota.

    But it is entirely drive-able. Gosh, there is a lot of traffic in places on it.

    Well, the road magically improves dramatically once you cross the line into S. Dakota, at least that was my experience 3 years ago.


    Ditto for me. about same time frame when last on the Minnesota side of things.

    Doesn't have to be a concrete road, asphalt, gravel, whatever.
    They all go to hell with freezing/thawing temps. If you've ever driven on a gravel road when the frost is coming out and the road is heaving, you'll know what I mean.

  • Ran across it the last summer. It was mostly under construction and down to one lane. Might not be to bad now?
