The bridge over the Mississippi River reopened about 1:45 p.m. A section of the Samuel Morgan Trail that runs beneath the bridge will remain closed until early next month.
The bridge is a key connection between downtown St. Paul and the city's West Side. MnDOT is planning a ribbon-cutting celebration on Sunday, Dec. 2, to recognize the bridge's reopening. Road resurfacing on Hwy. 149 near the bridge will continue through next spring.
