About this project
We will replace the aging I-35E bridge over Shepard Rd. near downtown St. Paul, which is near the end of its service life. Replacing the bridge will save money that is being spent on repairs and other maintenance in addition to providing a new, modern structure that will provide safe transportation for motorists for many years. Additional concrete repairs will be made on the I-35E Mississippi River bridge to provide a smoother driving surface and extend the life of the bridge.
