Bloomington Ferry Bridge, Road bridge between Bloomington and Shakopee, United States
The Bloomington Ferry Bridge extends 1.1 miles across the Minnesota River, carrying U.S. Route 169 between the municipalities of Bloomington and Shakopee.
The location marked a river crossing point since 1849, when the Bloomington Ferry operated until the construction of the first bridge in 1889.
The bridge represents the transformation of transportation methods in Minnesota, from early ferry services to modern highway infrastructure connecting communities.
The current structure, positioned 0.75 miles upstream from the original crossing, maintains a direct route for vehicles traveling between Hennepin and Scott counties.
The 1996 construction specifically addressed flooding issues that affected previous bridges by relocating the crossing point away from flood-prone riverbank areas.
