Construction Timeline Update
Crews will soon begin building temporary access points in the river so they can safely demolish the existing bridge and construct the new one. Due to the need to complete some of this work before the bridge can close, the closure will begin no earlier than late October.
Project Details
We are partnering with WisDOT to replace the Hwy 243 Osceola Bridge over the St. Croix River, maintaining a reliable connection between Washington and Chisago counties in Minnesota and the Village of Osceola in Polk County, Wisconsin. The project also includes a new pedestrian and bicycle path.
