Nothing is final yet and many questions remain but a few details did come out of the recent online public meeting regarding the Blatnik Bridge replacement project.

Help is on the way for a busy intersection that has only seen increased traffic due to the current detour situation on I-35.

The Twin Ports is home to two major communities that are geographically separated by the St. Louis River: Duluth, Minnesota and Superior, Wisconsin.  To get back and forth, there are two major bridge structures connecting them - the older Blatnik Bridge and the newer Bong Bridge...

A new bridge is coming. The space under the current bridge is being used for parking, recreation and a connection between neighborhoods on either side of Highway 53.

A maintenance project will close down one of the on-ramps to the Bong Bridge for most of the daytime hours of Tuesday, January 5.

Since the announcement more than a year ago that the Blatnik Bridge was officially on the docket for replacement, a lot of attention has been focused on what that new structure will look like.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation is inviting submissions, allowing the general public to name the snowplows in their fleet.

The work is done - for now - at the Highway 23 Bridge site in Pleasant Valley in Carlton County.

Whether you live in the state or drive through it, the roads in Minnesota are about to see some significant improvements over the next ten years.

Another scheduled informational meeting about the Twin Ports Interchange (Can of Worms) Project will be happen on Monday, December 7.

A bridge-replacement project that's tied to the Twin Ports Interchange work will completely close I-35 to all traffic for a few days - albeit with a signed detour.

The 2020 summer road construction season was a busy one for the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
