Route description

Highway 242 originally served as an east–west route between the cities of Anoka, Coon Rapids, and Blaine.

The route was legally defined as Route 242 in the Minnesota Statutes.[4]

Highway 242 was authorized on July 1, 1949[2] and was paved when it was marked.[5]

The highway used to run to downtown Anoka, but in 1979 it was truncated at its easternmost intersection with U.S. Highway 10.[6]

On June 15, 2007, Highway 242 was transferred from the State of Minnesota to Anoka County maintenance. It is now an extension of County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 14.[3]

The entire route was in Anoka County.
