The City of Sartell is hoping to turn the historic Old Sartell Bridge into a pedestrian and bike bridge over the Mississippi River.
The 420-foot steel comeback through truss bridge was built in 1914, connecting Sartell Street to the east and west areas of Sartell, the Minnesota Department of Transportation s website says. It was closed in 1984 and is now known as the utility bridge because it carries utility connections for the east side of the city.
