Route description

The route passes through Washington County and briefly enters Ramsey County.
History
State Highway 96 was authorized in 1933.
The route was completely paved by 1940.
From 1934 to 1994, State Highway 96 once extended farther west several miles through the communities of Vadnais Heights, Shoreview, and Arden Hills. The former western terminus for State Highway 96 during this time period was at its intersection with old U.S. Highway 8 (near I-35W) on the Arden Hills / New Brighton border. This section of Highway 96 was once part of the Highway 100 Beltway circling the entire Twin Cities during the 1940s and 1950s.
Highway 96 between Highway 61 at White Bear Lake and I-35W at Arden Hills is now known in the present day as Ramsey County Highway 96.[1]
