Project Overview: St. Croix River Crossing
The red dotted line marks the location of the new bridge and highway. Purple marks the existing Stillwater Lift Bridge. The existing Stillwater Lift Bridge
This major project will divert traffic from the 80-year-old Stillwater Lift Bridge to a four-lane bridge that will connect expressways on both sides of the St. Croix River. Currently, severe traffic congestion in downtown Stillwater causes pedestrian and traffic safety problems, which are amplified by Lift Bridge operations. The St. Croix Crossing project will provide a safer, more reliable river crossing. The project includes a four-lane river bridge, new roadway approaches on both sides of the river, historic and environmental mitigation, and extensive trail facilities that will include converting the Lift Bridge to a bike and pedestrian facility. The project will provide jobs for suppliers, subcontractors, disadvantaged business enterprises as well as general contractors. The existing St. Croix River crossing at Stillwater, Minnesota, is a highway bridge connecting downtown Stillwater to the Town of St. Joseph in St. Croix County, Wisconsin.
