Transportation
Northeastern Minnesota's transportation system connects the region to local, regional, national and international markets. Airports, roadways, rail lines and a world-class port move the region's imports and exports, and make business and recreational travel easy and convenient. Transportation Map
Most major northeastern Minnesota communities are connected by a four-lane highway system and have easy access to state and federal roads, making travel and truck transportation more efficient. Highways 2, 53, 61 and 169 are major routes for U.S. and Canadian trucking companies that move wood products, agricultural products and other goods. These roads are part of a well-established highway network providing access from the Canadian border to Duluth, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Wisconsin, North Dakota and the rest of the country.
