When you build a bridge in an area considered to be protected by an act of Congress, it takes another act of Congress to begin the process. But sometimes that’s necessary when the existing one is more than 80-years-old and could fail in the not too distant future. If the new bridge isn’t in place, people would have a very difficult time getting from point A to point B for several years. Even though point A may not be growing as they thought it would or have as many people there anymore, still stranding them shouldn’t be a viable alternative.
So they are building the St. Croix Bridge in Minnesota under the prevue of the State Highway Department. Former Vice President Mondale sponsored the bill passed in support of Wild and Scenic status for rivers such as the St. Croix when he was a Senator. But though he feels the new bridge is a violation of the public trust, you can almost hear his shoulders shrugging in a statement he made last year, “It’s a tough fight when you go against what the highway department wants.”
