STILLWATER, Minn. (WCCO) – Flooding concerns have eased enough that the Stillwater Lift Bridge will go back to its normal summer schedule for marine traffic at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, officials said Tuesday.

The bridge had been closed weeks because of spring flooding concerns with the St. Croix River. The bridge serves as the main corridor for traffic flow from Minnesota to Wisconsin over the river.

The bridge schedule will remain in effect, weather depending, until Oct. 15. For complete information and a schedule of the Stillwater Lift Bridge, click here.

Why would anybody want to use it, it is a unsafe bridge, it is in to poor of condtion for anybody to use.

Well with gas prices nearing 4 bucks a gallon.. Would you add another 40 minutes onto your drive having to cross at hudson? I sure dont. I cant afford to be safer.

Lifting the bridge for boat traffic what a waste of tax payer dollars! I say make it a toll bridge for boat traffic, if you can afford a boat you can afford to pay a toll. The traffic comes to a stand still for the boat loafers. What about the working people that are trying to get home to feed their children?
