Bridge of Hope, Road bridge across Mississippi River between Sartell and Sauk Rapids, United States.
The Bridge of Hope is a concrete road bridge crossing the Mississippi River between Sartell and Sauk Rapids. It has four traffic lanes and pedestrian walkways that connect the two communities.
Built in 1995 by the Minnesota Department of Transportation and Jim Hill Group, the bridge marked a major infrastructure milestone. It was completed eight months ahead of schedule, reflecting efficient project management.
Local high school students chose the bridge name to honor Jacob Wetterling and other missing children from the Minnesota region. The name reflects a community's commitment to remembering those lost.
The bridge connects both communities over the Mississippi River and handles traffic across multiple levels. Pedestrians can use the dedicated walkways while vehicles travel on the four lanes.
The structure was built beneath the river level and alongside active railway tracks, presenting unique construction challenges. This engineering accomplishment made the project a noteworthy feat for the region.
