The Blatnik Bridge has more than 33,000 vehicles cross it each day, and more than 265,000 trucks carrying nearly $4 billion in goods each year.
Starting today it’s getting some much needed upgrades - a historic investment in Minnesota’s future.
I’m headed up to Duluth to break ground on the Blatnik Bridge replacement project.
This bridge doesn’t just connect two great midwestern states - it drives international commerce and will support more than one million good-paying labor hours.
