Minnesota State Highway 60 (MN 60) is a highway in southern Minnesota, which runs from Iowa Highway 60 at the Iowa state line (at Bigelow) and continues east-northeast to its eastern terminus at the Wisconsin state line (at Wabasha), where the route becomes Wisconsin Highway 25 upon crossing the Mississippi River.
Highway 60 is the only state highway in Minnesota which runs from one border to another. The route runs in a general southwest-to-northeast direction.
The route is 219 miles (352 km) in length. Its southwest segment is a portion of the transportation corridor connecting Sioux City and the Twin Cities.
State Highway 60 serves as an east–west marked route in southern Minnesota between Worthington, Windom, St. James, Mankato, Faribault, Zumbrota, and Wabasha.
From Bigelow to North Mankato, much of the highway is a four lane expressway. The last remaining two lane segment, between Windom and Mountain Lake, is scheduled for expansion to four lanes in 2017.
