Interstate 90 and U.S. 14 West and U.S. 61 North
Interstate 90 and U.S. 14 West and U.S. 61 North approaching Exit 272B-A - Dresbach - 1 mile. Standard exit numbering practices in Minnesota indicate that when there are two off-ramps to separate roads in a one-mile span in one direction (ie. Exit 272A and Exit 272B serve different roads), and there is just one exit in the other direction at that mile, such as the case here, the one ramp gets both suffixes. In other words, Exit 272B-A in the westbound direction is just one ramp. (Photo taken 7/12/05)
