We're sending you a quick reminder about the upcoming closure of the Stillwater Lift Bridge so you can start preparing for the closure and plan ahead.
The bridge will be closed starting next Monday, Sept. 10 and will reopen in mid-December after the rehabilitation project is completed.
Motorists are advised to cross the St. Croix River either at the I-94 Bridge at Hudson, Wisconsin or at the Highway 243 Bridge at Osceola, Wisconsin.
The rehabilitation work on the historic lift bridge will focus on repairing steel connections, replacing and repairing mechanical and electrical components, concrete work on the piers and concourse which will restore the look of the Lift Bridge back to its original state, floor beams will also be replaced and they'll paint portions of the bridge.
