Broadway Bridge is a Pennsylvania through truss reinforced-concrete highway bridge which carries Minnesota 99 over the Minnesota River in St. Peter, Minnesota, United States.[2] It was built in 1931 by the Minneapolis Bridge Company following a skewed steel design by the Minnesota Highway Department.[3]
For much of 2017, the Minnesota Department of Transportation closed the bridge for a major rehabilitation which included enclosing it in plastic for the removal of lead paint.[4][5] The project, which cost about $4.4 million, preserved the bridge, which had been in poor condition, and restored its original dark green color.[6]
The Broadway Bridge, built in 1931, carries State Highway 99 (also known as Broadway Avenue) over the Minnesota River between the city of Saint Peter in Nicollet County and Oshawa Township in Le Sueur County.
