"$1 Billion Awarded for Minnesota-Wisconsin Bridge Project"

The U.S. Department of Transportation has awarded $1.06 billion in federal funding to replace the aging John A. Blatnik Bridge between Duluth, Minnesota, and Superior, Wisconsin, with both states committing $400 million each toward the $1.8 billion project. The bridge serves as a crucial freight and commercial connection, linking the Duluth-Superior Twin Ports and facilitating trade with Canada. The replacement project aims to improve safety, accommodate oversize and overweight loads, and foster regional economic growth, with design work expected to begin this year and construction as early as next year.
