A yearlong renovation of the High Bridge in St. Paul will wrap up next month.
The Smith Avenue High Bridge will reopen in St. Paul this December, according to an article by Frederick Melo.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation has been renovating the bridge since September 2017, with a modern bridge deck and better bicycle and pedestrian access.
"The $20 million in bridge work was part of a major road-resurfacing project that unfolded in 2017 along Minnesota 149 — better known to drivers as Smith Avenue and Dodd Road — from West Seventh Street in St. Paul south to Interstate 494 near the Mendota Heights and Eagan border," according to Melo.
