Minnesota State Highway 194

State Highway 194 serves as an east–west arterial route between Solway Township, Hermantown, the Miller Hill area of Duluth, the Duluth Heights neighborhood, and downtown Duluth. The highway is a spur route into the city of Duluth. Highway 194 runs concurrent with U.S. Highway 53 for a stretch, from Lindahl Road in Hermantown to Trinity Road, near Duluth's Miller Hill Mall. This four-lane stretch of Highways 53 and 194 is also known as the Miller Trunk Highway in the cities of Duluth and Hermantown. The Mesaba Avenue portion of Highway 194 offers an excellent view of the city of Duluth and Lake Superior. ==History==

Highway 194 was authorized in 1933 The route was paved by 1940. The route was renumbered again, to 194, to avoid duplication with Interstate Highway 94 that was being built in Minnesota during the early 1960s. The section of present day State Highway 194 between U.S. 53 in Hermantown and downtown Duluth was authorized in 1933. The original alignment of this section was from U.S. 53 (Miller Trunk Highway) down Central Entrance to 6th Avenue East and then to Second and Third Streets in downtown Duluth (where it intersected then-Highway 61 as Second / Third Streets downtown). In 1991, the alignment of State Highway 194 on the Duluth hillside was changed from 6th Avenue East to Mesaba Avenue, southbound to Interstate 35. The section of Highway 61 that was signed on Second and Third Streets in downtown Duluth was eliminated at this time, due to the new I-35 extension around downtown Duluth completed in 1992. ==Major intersections==
