Description
The current bridge is possible the fourth one over the Minnesota River, as the first crossing consisted of a 3-span bowstring arch bridge built in the 1870s. It was replaced by two Pennsylvania Petit spans in 1905 which served traffic until they were relocated to Koochiching County in 1929.
