Warm spring weather and numerous requests from boaters have prompted Minnesota Department of Transportation officials to start the 2025 schedule of the Stillwater Lift Bridge this week.

The Lift Bridge is now staffed from 8 a.m. to midnight each day, and the bridge will lift every half hour if boat traffic is present.

The lift schedule is expected to stay in effect through late October.

Bridge tenders will respond to special requests to lift the bridge after midnight if given a two-hour notice; requests can be made by calling MnDOT’s 24-hour dispatch at 651-234-7110.
