History

Highway 254 was authorized on July 1, 1949.[1] Originally, it ran from U.S. Route 16 south through Frost to Iowa Highway 322 (renumbered 254 in 1969) at the state line near Rake, Iowa.

The route was paved between U.S. 16 and Frost in 1950.[4][5] The remainder was paved in the mid-1950s.[6][7]

The part of Highway 254 south of Frost was removed from statute in 1988 and turned back to Faribault County.[8] It is now marked County Road 17.

Major intersections

The entire route is in Faribault County.
