Route description

Highway 62 serves as an east–west route in southwest Minnesota between the cities of Fulda and Windom.

Highway 62 crosses the Des Moines River in Southbrook Township, Springfield Township, and in the city of Windom.

The route is also known as 11th Street in Belfast Township.

The route is legally defined as part of Constitutional Route 16 in the Minnesota Statutes.[2] It is not marked with this number.

History

Highway 62 was authorized in 1933.[3]

The route was paved by 1942.[3]

A second State Highway 62 exists within the state of Minnesota. In 1988, former Hennepin County Highway 62 in the Twin Cities area was renumbered State Highway 62. Mn/DOT assigned the Twin Cities route its former Hennepin County numbering because of its local familiarity; and further determined that it was not necessary to renumber existing Highway 62 (between Fulda and Windom) because of what Mn/DOT perceived as low potential for confusion of the two routes. This is the only situation where two different state-numbered routes have duplicate numbering.
