St. Croix Crossing Bridge Opening Ceremony & Community Events
Project Dedication Ceremony
Join us!
The dedication ceremony to mark the opening of the St. Croix Crossing bridge will be held Wed, Aug. 2 at 10 a.m. on the west end of the new bridge, eastbound lanes.
The new crossing, connecting Oak Park Heights, Minnesota and St. Joseph, Wisconsin will provide a better, larger route between the states that will replace the more than 80-year old Stillwater Lift Bridge. It will ease congestion in downtown Stillwater and is anticipated to be a boon to economic development in the region.
Getting to the event
No public parking will be available at the dedication site. However, parking at nearby locations on both the Minnesota and Wisconsin sides has been identified and free shuttles will be provided to get to the location of the dedication.
Shuttles will begin transporting individuals to the event location from the Wisconsin side at 7:30 a.m. and from the Minnesota side at 8 a.m. They will run as needed until 9 a.m.
Shuttles will resume approximately 30 minutes after the dedication ceremony ends to return to parking locations. The last shuttle will depart approximately 60 minutes after the dedication ceremony ends.
