New I-90 bridge almost ready for traffic
Three-year project costing $200 million, is on schedule
After three years, the new I-90 bridge over the Mississippi River is ready to be used soon.
Project engineer Mark Anderson from MinnDOT says they’re preparing to switch traffic from the old bridge to a new span.
Rain has delayed finishing touches on the eastbound lanes into Wisconsin. Anderson says the westbound half of the new bridge will be open sometime next year.
The nearly $200-million project is on schedule with work crews able to take a few weeks off during the winter.
