Eastbound Kellogg RiverCenter Bridge Reconstruction

Summary

The county is putting up to $11 million toward Saint Paul's federal grant application to replace a 90-year-old, weight-restricted bridge that connects downtown to the RiverCentre, arena and Science Museum. The rebuild would add a protected 12-foot bike/pedestrian path down the viaduct to the river trails. Commissioners stressed they expect reciprocal city support on the county's River's Edge project.
