John A. Blatnik Bridge construction photos circa 1961
A few photos in the Cliff’s Barber Shop Collection show the John A. Blatnik Bridge under construction, probably in 1961, the year it was completed.
The bridge is now scheduled to be demolished and replaced. The Minnesota and Wisconsin departments of transportation were awarded a $1.058 billion federal grant in January 2024 for the project after passage of the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. To read more about that process, visit the Minnesota Department of Transportation’s I-535 Blatnik Bridge page.
