MnDOT + WisDOT Hosting Virtual Meeting On Blatnik Bridge Project
Here is the stated overview of the project, which is scheduled for construction in 2028:
MnDOT and WisDOT have initiated a planning and design study of the
John A. Blatnik Bridge, one of two major bridges that connects Duluth, Minnesota
to Superior, Wisconsin. Carrying I-535 over the St. Louis Bay, the Blatnik Bridge
is an important freight and commercial connection between the Twin Ports. In
collaboration with WisDOT, MnDOT is performing an analysis and environmental
study of the bridge to plan for either the rehabilitation or replacement of the Blatnik
Bridge.
The virtual public meeting is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, January 12. During the meeting, MnDOT and WisDOT staff will discuss the project, the purpose and need statement and gather feedback. Questions from public will also be welcome.
