Note that there is construction affecting the drive to Treasure Island.
MN 316 is closed. It is completely torn up and
impassible. Personally for those of you coming from
the North and West the alternate (in dark blue below) of
Dakota County 54 to 18 off of 10th Street in Hastings is a
much prettier and much more relaxing drive than the very
heavily traveled US 61. So, From
the
Treasure Island website:
