SAINT PAUL, MN – Rep. Kristin Robbins, R-Maple Grove, applauds the Minnesota Great River Road on receiving an All-American Road designation by the Federal Highway Administration on Tuesday. This is the highest byway designation and is awarded to roads that “possess nationally significant qualities and have one-of-a-kind-features that exist nowhere else – making the byway a ‘destination unto itself.’”
“As a member of the Mississippi River Parkway Commission, I am extremely proud of the Minnesota Great River Road for receiving this honor,” said Rep. Robbins. “The Minnesota Great River Road is truly an All-American Road, telling the rich history of not only our state, but also our country. From the beauty of its natural scenery to the historic landmarks, the Minnesota Great River Road has something to offer everyone.”
With this designation, “communities and attractions are included in a broader All-American Road experience along with other Mississippi River states, and they enjoy promotion on a larger stage.”
