Bridge of Hope, Road bridge across Mississippi River between Sartell and Sauk Rapids, United States.
The Bridge of Hope extends 1711 feet in length and 85 feet in width, featuring four traffic lanes and pedestrian walkways over the Mississippi River.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation and Jim Hill Group completed the concrete girder bridge construction in 1995, eight months ahead of schedule.
Local high school students selected the bridge name to honor Jacob Wetterling and other missing children from the Minnesota area.
The structure spans across the Mississippi River, BNSF Railway, and Benton Drive, providing essential connections between Sartell and Sauk Rapids communities.
The bridge design incorporates an 18-foot clearance beneath the structure and includes a longest single span measuring 140 feet.
