We actually have three levels of names. What EVERYBODY refers
to as the "Fairfax Count Parkway" is also known as state road
7100 and by the official name "John (Jack) Herrity Parkway"
(it also has a fourth name "Springfield Bypass" but they gave
up on that one some time ago, the road still fails to either
enter or bypass Springfield, that's the last two miles they
ever finished).


We had (Freeway) 118 pass by our airport for years - with an Airport Rd
exit.

They finally connected 118 to the "610 bridge" (Mississippi River) in 1998
after about 15 years of no construction. I said flip a coin for the final
name - I liked 118 because it was on my side of the river g, plus we
already have a 694 just south of us, so 610 might be confusing for some I
thought.

They decided on Hwy 10. This is a problem.

The "old" Hwy 10 is the first exit south off of I-35 from the "new" Hwy 10
....confusion.

They added to the confusion. They renamed the previous Hwy 10 ...County 10.

So now when you head north on I-35 out of Minneapolis, instead of exiting on
118 (or 610) you now have two choices of 10's to exit on - right next to
each other. Hwy 10 or Co. Rd 10.

We call them "New 10" and "Old 10" but MN-DOT won't put that on the signs!!!

Oh well.
