St. Croix Crossing routine inspection set to begin the week of July 12

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation has scheduled a routine inspection of the St. Croix Crossing for the week of July 12, and east- and westbound motorists might encounter single-lane closures as the work proceeds.

A joint project of the Wisconsin and Minnesota Departments of Transportation, the St. Croix Crossing, which combines the elements of a concrete box girder bridge with a cable-stay bridge, opened to traffic in 2017. It connects WIS 64 and the town of St. Joseph, Wis., with MN 36 and Oak Park Heights, Minn.

Routine inspections of the bridge, which look at everything above the water line, are completed every two years.
