I’m writing with an update on the ongoing construction of the Kellogg-3rd Street Bridge. As a resident of downtown St. Paul, I understand that this project has caused some inconvenience to residents, businesses, and commuters. As your state representative, the Chair of the Saint Paul delegation, and a proud member of the House DFL Capital Investment Committee, I am honored to continue to lead efforts in securing critical funding for our roads and local projects.
I wanted to take a moment to share a few updates on the project with you.
Kellogg-3rd Street Bridge Construction
-
A temporary steel wall will be installed along Mounds Boulevard to support the road during reconstruction of the east bridge abutment and freeway retaining walls. This work is scheduled to start the week of January 20, weather permitting, and will take up to three weeks to complete.
-
Mounds Boulevard will continue to remain open during this work. Southbound will continue to be reduced to one lane before and through the intersection with 3rd Street East.
-
Bridge work along Mounds Boulevard will continue through 2025.
-
All the old bridge beams and deck are completely removed.
-
Remaining bridge piers will be removed this month.
-
New bridge pier construction continues within the Bruce Vento Sanctuary area.
-
One new pier foundation and footing is complete.
-
The new bridge has a total of 14 supports (piers and abutments).

I sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding as the City of St. Paul works to improve this vital transportation corridor. Thank you again for your patience and continued support as we strive to build a stronger, more connected, and safer St. Paul for all.
