Working in partnership with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation  Minnesota engineers are looking to replace the Highway 243 Osceola Bridge over the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway. The current bridge was built in 1953 and is scheduled to be replaced. MnDOT and WisDOT completed an evaluation of the bridge and its components and decided not to reuse any portion of the existing structure.

After three years of evaluating options and gathering input from government stakeholders and the public, the project team has chosen the current bridge location as the preferred site for the new bridge. Construction is scheduled to begin fall 2026.

For more information, visit the project website. If you have questions, please contact the project team.
