About this title

Synopsis

If you were to travel the length of the Mighty Mississippi, you would pass under 219 bridges. Volume I took us under 86 of these magnificent structures from New Orleans to the edge of Minnesota. In this volume we travel the length of Minnesota up to the very headwaters of the river. We pass under 135 well-traveled bridges. The Mississippi River bridges are a varied group from a row of rocks and a single half-log in the Itasca State Park to award-winning deck-arch spans in Minneapolis. There are mystery bridges, privately owned bridges, bridges that work as entertainment centers, pedestrian and bike bridges, both low and high railroad bridges. Many styles of bridge structure are represented in this final section of the Mississippi and can make the state of Minnesota proud.
