STILLWATER - Thousands of Wisconsinites who work in Minnesota’s Twin Cities will have to find a new way to get to work this fall. The Stillwater Lift Bridge north of Hudson will be closed from September through December, so workers can make almost three-and-a-half million dollars worth of improvements.
Todd Clarkowski of Minnesota’s DOT says the 80-year-old lift bridge will get a variety of new components, including electrical items. And among other things, guardrails will be replaced along with curbs-and-gutters. A Sauk County contractor, Edward Kraemer-and-Sons, submitted the winning bid for the project.
An open house on the project will be held today from 4-to-7 p-m at the Stillwater City Hall. The lift bridge will be replaced later this decade by a new four-lane bridge a few miles to the south.
