Preserving Minnesota's Historic Bridges
Minnesota has over 200 bridges identified as historic. Mn/DOT owns 15 percent of the state's historic bridges, while counties and cities own the remaining 85 percent. The Minnesota Historic Bridge Management Plan was prepared in 2006 to fulfill a need for information and guidance on the management and long-term preservation of these historic bridges.
