The bridge has a street setup, with one lane for motor vehicles in each direction.
The bridge was constructed in a unique way: the 470-foot truss span was built on falsework on two barges out of the current and the main river channel.
When the truss section was completed, engineers floated the span on its barges down the river.
Once the span was in place, the barges were flooded to bring the bridge into position vertically.
[1] Through legislation passed in 2014, the bridge was named "Michael Duane Clickner Memorial Bridge", honoring a Wabasha native killed during the Vietnam War.
