New Highway 10 Bridge To Be Built

The Minnesota Department of Transportation has announced that a new Highway 10 bridge will be built to replace the damaged bridge, instead of repairing the old bridge near Little Falls. According to Dave Schwarting, MnDot District 3 bridge engineer, replacing the old bridge would be more cost effective than repairing the damaged structure and an increase in the flow through the overflow channel since the bridge was built 37 years ago. It's expected that the new bridge will be completed by the end of this year, with temporary crossovers in place so that traffic can continue to use the Higway 10 bridge during construction.
