Rjgambrel/Current inventory additions
All of the content of this page has been moved to the Minnesota wiki, so this page is now moot.
2. Current inventory
This section includes inventories and analysis done early in this project to analyze the motorways and trunk highways in the state. Based largely on this work a proposal for handling trunk highways has been proposed. Refer the the Slack #local-minnesota channel for the proposal and discussion.
2.1 Inventory summary of Minnesota highways by type and surface
In late December 2021 (24th & 25th) a survey of Minnesota highways by type was done using overpass turbo queries. The results are summarized below. It is anticipated that several times in the future this chart will be updated to provide a progress report.
| group | highway | surface | December 2021 |
|---|---|---|---|
| major | motorway | 4,330.6 | |
| trunk | 4,106.6 | ||
| primary | 7,265.0 | ||
| expressway=yes | 19.4 | ||
| major link | motorway_link | 1,504.7 | |
| trunk_link | 171.8 | ||
| primary_link | 59.7 | ||
| mid | secondary | 14,034.5 | |
| tertiary | 56,882.1 | ||
| mid link | secondary_link | 71.9 | |
| tertiary_link | 48.3 | ||
| minor | unclassified | 14,023.8 | |
| residential | * | 22,394.7 | |
| residential | gravel | 12,720.2 | |
| residential | asphalt | 5,135.2 | |
| residential | unpaved | 3,130.7 | |
| residential | paved | 1,252.3 | |
| residential | concrete | 52.9 | |
| residential | dirt | 61.0 | |
| residential | other | 42.4 |
Notes
- blank surface means that the surface type was not specified in the query
- expressway=yes is not a highway type, but rather an attribute of some highway segments (usually trunk)
- all residential roads probably exceed 100,000 km (query would not complete)
- residential with surface=* includes all residential roads that have a surface tag
- residential with surface=other is not a query but rather derived arithmetically from the other residential queries
- based on notes 3 & 4 above, it is not possible to estimate the total length of residential roads nor the length of residential roads with no surface type
2.2 Motorways
This section contains several inventories of all the motorways in Minnesota. The first section is a length chart similar to the above but only addresses motorways. The subsequent sections analyze the motorways by their connectivity.
2.2.1 Motorway lengths
In late December 2021 the lengths of all motorways in Minnesota were determined using overpass turbo queries. The results are summarized below. It is anticipated that several times in the future this chart will be updated to provide a progress report.

Notes
- length in kilometers is based on membership in relationships
- duplication is expected because some highway segments are part of more than one route relation
- because motorways all have two carriageways, the total length of motorways is approximately half of the number indicated
