I-90 Mississippi River Bridge

Two parallel concrete box girder structures stretch across the Mississippi River, connecting Wisconsin to Minnesota through a 2,593-foot span.

Following the collapse of Minneapolis I-35W bridge in 2007, Minnesota Department of Transportation focused on replacing critical bridges, leading to this structure's completion in 2016.

The bridge stands as a testament to modern American infrastructure, connecting communities across the Mississippi River while providing access to regional recreational facilities.

The structure includes wide shoulders for emergency responses, direct access to the Dresbach Rest Area, and boat launches from the westbound interstate lanes.

The bridge incorporates a 100-year design lifespan, utilizing advanced engineering techniques with variable widths between 45 and 66 feet across different sections.
