Historic Kern Bridge Goes to Mankato
The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) issued a news release detailing the selection site for the historic bow-string arch Kern Bridge in Mankato. Below is the MnDOT information. A steering committee has selected the city of Mankato as the new owner of the historic Kern Bridge. Mankato will receive federal funding (80 percent of cost) to relocate and rehabilitate the historic bow-string arch bridge that traversed the Le Sueur River from 1873 to 2020 in Blue Earth County. Mankato’s winning plan is to place the Kern Bridge less than five miles downstream from the original site over the Blue Earth River, connecting Land of Memories Park to Sibley Park, fulfilling a strong need identified in the Minnesota River State Trail Master Plan as well as other local and regional trail plans.

MANKATO, Minn. (KEYC) - The historic Kern Bridge that called the Le Sueur River home for more than 140 years officially has a new home.
After an eight way competition between counties and cities for the bridge, a steering committee has selected Mankato as the bridge’s new owner.
Mankato will receive federal funding for about 80 percent of cost, to relocate and rehabilitate the bridge.
“It was not used for the the last 30 years because it was located on a township road that was abandoned. So it was in a good shape but it’s abutments were made of limestone so the bridge was in danger of falling into the river,” explained District 7 State Aid Engineer Lisa Bigham.
