History
Highway 54
State Highway 54 was authorized in 1920 from Elbow Lake to Herman.[
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.]
