Starting next spring, the bridge will be closed for a reconstruction project expected to last through spring 2026 and cost the Minnesota Department of Transportation $22 million to $26 million.

Then they'll reopen that side and close the western half of the bridge near Mill Ruins Park and Owamni. Tap the link in our bio to read the full story by Susan Du.
