Minnesota State Highway 121 is a short freeway stub in Minnesota. It is less than one mile in length.
Highway 121 runs between Interstate 35W (Minnesota) in Richfield and Lyndale Avenue in Minneapolis where it intersects West 58th Street. There is one exit leading to West Highway 62.
Before I-35W was completed to downtown Minneapolis, US 65 briefly took this stub to rejoin its old alignment on Lyndale Avenue. A 1961 road map shows I-35W separating from Lyndale Avenue at about 58th Street, then continuing south along its present alignment in Richfield and south into Bloomington. Highway 121 was designated after I-35W was built along the Crosstown (Minnesota State Highway 62) and along 3rd Avenue South going into downtown.
