Project History:
This Pennsylvania Steel High Truss bridge with an
open grate bridge deck was constructed in 1959
by the City of Baudette and operated as a toll
bridge until Mn/DOT and Ontario Ministry of
Transportation assumed ownership. The deck
width is 26.5 feet, the main span length is 192.5
feet with the structure length being 1,285 feet.
Project Benefits:
Upgrading or replacement of a fracture critical
structure will improve geometry and traffic safety
while proving continued international access.
Project Risks:
Possible relocation or modifications of US and
Canadian Customs buildings and a transfer station
which serves power to the cities of Baudette and
Rainy River, Ontario, Canada. - cultural resource
issues in Minnesota as well as Ontario, Canada. -
international agreements will need to be developed
and coordinated to enable budget and logistics
planning.
