Signed in purple ink, MN dedicates highway to Prince

The late pop superstar Prince is being honored in Minnesota as the state renames a seven-mile stretch of highway after him.

Gov. Tim Walz used purple ink today (Tue) to sign the bill that dedicates the roadway formerly known as Minnesota Highway 5 to Prince.

That stretch of road in the Minneapolis suburbs of Chanhassen and Eden Prairie will be named the Prince Rogers Nelson Memorial Highway.

The nearby Paisley Park complex, where Prince lived and recorded, now draws visitors from around the world as a museum run by his estate.

It’s also where Prince died in 2016 at age 57.
