I-35W Saint Anthony Falls Bridge
The
I-35W Saint Anthony Falls Bridge
crosses the
Saint Anthony Falls
of the
Mississippi River
in
Minneapolis
,
Minnesota
in the
U.S.
, carrying north-south traffic on
Interstate Highway 35W
. The ten-lane bridge replaced the
I-35W Mississippi River bridge
, which collapsed on August 1, 2007. It was planned and is maintained by the
Minnesota Department of Transportation
(Mn/DOT). The planning, design, and construction processes were completed faster than normal because Interstate 35W is a critical artery for
commuters
and
truck
freight. The bridge opened September 18, 2008, well ahead of the original goal of December 24.
