Over the last three years, St. Louis County Public Works, through a unique partnership with MnDOT, has completed a $25.33 million Bridge Bundling project. Through this joint project, made possible by receiving $10.25 million in Federal grant funding, St. Louis County replaced 17 bridges throughout the County, while MnDOT replaced an additional four of its bridges in Carlton County.

To mark the completion of this multi-part project, as well as the 2024 construction season, St. Louis County Public Works will host a news conference to recap the considerable improvements made to the county's vast road and bridge network. The news conference will be Wednesday, November 13, at 10:30 a.m. at the Richard H. Hansen Public Works and Transportation Complex, 4787 Midway Rd, Pike Lake.
