MnDOT will respond to special openings after 12 midnight, with a two-hour notice. Requests are to be made by calling MnDOT’s 24-hour dispatcher at 651-234-7110. Any requests received by marine radio will be relayed by the bridge tender to the dispatcher.

Outside of the regular lifting season, i.e., from Oct. 15 to May 15, the bridge will be raised upon 24 hour notice. Requests can be made by dialing 651-234-7110.

During the periods of the day when the bridge is staffed, bridge tenders will monitor channel 16 on the marine band radio. Upon receiving a call on channel 16, conversations will be switched to channel 14.
