Minnesota State Highway 101 (MN 101) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Minnesota. The present day route currently has two separate segments. The roadway was a continuous route until 1988. ==Route description== The northern section of the roadway, between Rogers and Elk River, is in length. This is a busy highway, well-used on weekends by Twin Cities travelers going west on Interstate 94 through Elk River and continuing north on U.S. Highway 169 to Mille Lacs Lake and other lakes in central Minnesota. This amount of use triggered Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) to build interchanges along the route and convert the portion of Highway 101 in Wright County to a full freeway. These interchanges are at County Roads 36, 37, 39, and 42. The project of converting the Wright County portion to a freeway was completed in 2008. In 2010, Mn/DOT built a new flyover ramp at the interchange of Highway 101 and Interstate 94. This ramp allows traffic connecting from westbound 94 to northbound 101 to bypass the stoplights at the interchange and the South Diamond Lake Road intersection. State Highway 101 originally had a lot longer mileage, starting in Elk River, continuing south through Rogers, Maple Grove, Plymouth, Wayzata, Minnetonka, and Chanhassen before crossing the Minnesota River and terminating in Shakopee. Between 1988 and 1997, the section of State Highway 101 between Chanhassen and Rogers was turned back to county maintenance in several stages. The section of Highway 101 in Chanhassen is still active as a state highway. However, this part of the highway has also had some turnbacks. State Highway 101 used to cross the Minnesota River and enter downtown Shakopee, then turned east and proceeded just south of the Minnesota River to a junction with State Highway 13 in Savage. The new U.S. Highway 169 freeway bypass of Shakopee in 1996 meant that Highway 101 was no longer necessary to maintain as a state marked route east of downtown Shakopee. Interestingly, though, the section of old Highway 101 east of Highway 169 to Highway 13 at Savage is still maintained as a state highway, but not with a signed route number. Instead, it has the unmarked legislative route number of ''Highway 801-B''. The 2004 Control Section Guide states that this section is considered part of the U.S. 169 / County 101 / Highway 13 interchange (at the Shakopee / Savage boundary line) and will not have a route or control section number.〔 〕 The two sections of old State Highway 101 that were turned back to county maintenance between 1988 and 1997 are both signed now as ''County Road 101'' in the present day, to maintain a unity in the eyes of the general public. The most recent turnback occurred in 2011 when Highway 101 between U.S. 212 and State Highway 5 in Chanhassen was turned over to Carver County maintenance and re-signed as Carver County Road 101, using the white-rectangle county road sign format instead of the blue-pentagon signs used by Hennepin and Scott counties. This divides the southern section of State Highway 101 into two disjointed sections. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Minnesota State Highway 101」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
