Betty Adkins Bridge, Concrete girder bridge in Otsego, United States.
The Betty Adkins Bridge is a four-lane highway bridge made of concrete that crosses the Mississippi River between Otsego and Elk River. The structure consists of two parallel sections that connect these two Minnesota cities.
The bridge was built in two phases: the southbound section opened in 1993 and eventually replaced an earlier 1967 girder bridge. The northbound section was added later to complete the modern dual structure.
This bridge was named after Betty Adkins, a Minnesota state senator who served in the legislature representing the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party. It reflects how local infrastructure can honor figures from the region's political history.
The bridge carries regular traffic and provides adequate clearance for river traffic passing underneath. It is best viewed and crossed by vehicle as it is part of a busy highway corridor.
This structure handles approximately 46000 vehicles per day, making it a critical transportation link in the region. The dual design allows traffic to flow smoothly across the river in both directions.
