Project background

 

For extensive background information on the St. Croix Crossing, visit www.dot.state.mn.us/metro/projects/stcroix/indexbackground.html.

 

The St. Croix Crossing has been decades in the making, partly because of the many historic, cultural and environmental features along the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway.

 

The project involved extensive involvement with communities on both sides of the river and with advocates for many concerns to determine if a bridge should be built and to select the best location/alignment for the bridge.

 

Through the years, Minnesota and Wisconsin DOTs have created thousands of documents, drawings and plans for the project.

 

The most recent of these is the Annual Project Summary Report prepared by the Wisconsin and Minnesota DOTs.
