MnDOT: New 60 mph speed limit on Hwy. 247
Motorists using Highway 247 from Highway 63 to Plainview in Olmsted and Wabasha counties will see speed limits raised to 60 mph where the previous posted limit was 55 mph on the two-lane roadway, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT).
