Veteran's Bridge Re-decking

Veteran’s Bridge is scheduled for a rehabilitation project in 2025, led by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT). This important project is focused on extending the life of the bridge through necessary maintenance and structural improvements, ensuring it remains safe and reliable.

Total estimated cost is $15.2 million. The City of Mankato will contribute $6.95 million, while MnDOT will seek funding for the remaining $8.25 million.

As a key transportation route in our community, maintaining Veteran’s Bridge is essential for both safety and long-term cost savings by avoiding more extensive repairs or replacement in the future.
