I-90 Mississippi River Bridge

The I-90 Mississippi River Bridge is a road bridge made of reinforced concrete that stretches about 2,600 feet across the river, linking Wisconsin to Minnesota. The structure features two parallel lanes allowing vehicles to travel in each direction.

The original structure at this location was replaced in 2016 with a new, stronger design to meet modern traffic demands. The replacement was part of broader efforts to improve critical bridges across the state.

The bridge links two states and allows travelers to move seamlessly between Wisconsin and Minnesota along one of America's major highways. It serves as a practical connection point for regional communities on both sides of the river.

The bridge features wide shoulders for emergency vehicles and connects directly to a rest area where drivers can stop for a break. Boat launch access is located nearby, making the area useful for various activities.

The bridge was built with an expected lifespan of 100 years, with different sections varying in width. This variable construction allows it to handle different traffic demands across its length.
