Prescott Drawbridge, Steel drawbridge in Prescott, United States.
The Prescott Drawbridge spans the St. Croix River with a length of 672 feet, connecting Wisconsin and Minnesota through four traffic lanes.
Built in 1990, this structure replaced an earlier Waddell & Harrington bridge from 1922 that operated as a toll passage until 1946.
The bridge represents a significant infrastructure development in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metropolitan area, being the only operational highway drawbridge.
Supporting U.S. Route 10, the bridge accommodates approximately 13,000 vehicles daily and maintains a height of 20 feet above the river.
The bridge operates alongside a BNSF Railway vertical-lift bridge, forming a dual crossing system over the St. Croix River.
