Stillwater lift bridge 2025 lift schedule is underway today, Wednesday, April 30

ROSEVILLE, Minn. — Warm spring weather and numerous lift requests have prompted the Minnesota Department of Transportation to begin the 2025 lift schedule immediately. Beginning at 8 a.m. Wed, April 30, the Stillwater Lift Bridge is now staffed from 8 a.m. to 12 midnight each day.

The lift schedule is in effect roughly from late April through late October each year. The bridge will lift every half hour if boat traffic is present.

MnDOT also will respond to special openings after 12 midnight with a two-hour notice. Requests are to be made by calling MnDOT’s 24-hour Dispatch at 651-234-7110. Any requests received by marine band radio will be relayed by the bridge tender to the dispatcher.

The pedestrian/bicycle crossing spans the St. Croix River between Stillwater, Minn. and Houlton, Wis. and is part of a nearly five-mile bicycle/pedestrian trail.
