Wabasha Street Bridge is a segmental bridge that spans the Mississippi River in downtown St. Paul , Minnesota , United States . It was named Wabasha Street Freedom Bridge in 2002 , to commemorate the first anniversary of the September 11 attacks . It actually consists of two separate bridges , one for northbound and one for southbound traffic . The use of a concrete segmental box girder bridge provided a construction advantage because no falsework needed to be built beneath the bridge
