Power out for Stillwater Lift Bridge
A power outage has left the Stillwater Lift Bridge inoperable Thursday morning, according to Minnesota Department of Transportation officials.
The bridge is stuck in the down position, and authorities said it was not clear when it would be in operation again.
Electrical services and maintenance crews were dispatched to the bridge to assess the problem and make repairs.
The historic bridge, which was closed to car traffic when the new St. Croix River bridge was built, is a key part of the Loop Trail, a 4.7-mile interstate trail between Houlton, Wis., and Stillwater, that also crosses the new bridge south of Stillwater.
The bridge lifts regularly in the summer to accommodate marine traffic.
