Blatnik Bridge Gets Historic Rebuild | Duluth News

The Blatnik Bridge, a vital link between Minnesota and Wisconsin, is undergoing its largest-ever reconstruction — the biggest public works project in both states’ histories. Funded by federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Act dollars plus $800 million from each state, the $1.6 billion overhaul will create over 1,000 construction jobs annually for four years. Despite some politicians who backed the project having voted against the infrastructure law, leaders celebrated the historic collaboration across party lines and state borders — all aimed at building a modern, durable bridge that keeps commerce flowing and symbolizes what’s possible when communities unite.
