  • From Footpaths to Freeways
    From Footpaths to Freeways A Survey of Roads and Highways in Minnesota By Joel Katz, P.E., PTOE Minnesota Department of Transportation DEDICATION This book is dedicated to the thousands of Minnesotans — past and present — who have been involved in the planning, design, construction, maintenance, and operation of the roads, streets, and highways of Minnesota, , as well as those who have played essential roles in such areas as financing, administration, research, education, and communications. These are the people who have been employed by the federal, state, and local governments; contractors; consultant firms; and educational institutions who have applied their professional and trade experience in developing a transportation system on which our way of life and economic viability has become so greatly dependent. Some of these employees lost their lives while performing construction, maintenance, and enforcement activities. All have worked diligently, loyally, and professionally — especially in emergency situations.

  • Bridge Report- Abridged
    Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) Local Historic Bridge Report- Abridged Executive Summary Bridge Number: L6116 Bridge L6116, also known as the Aerial Lift Bridge, was constructed in 1901-1905 and modified in 1929. It is located on Lake Avenue and spans the Duluth Ship Canal, which connects the city of Duluth with Minnesota Point. The City of Duluth owns the bridge. The original 1901-1905 aerial bridge had a gondola car suspended by an inverted steel tower from the underside of the truss. This truss remains extant as a structural member of the bridge. In 1929 the bridge was modified by adding an elevating roadway to replace the traversing platform, lengthening the steel towers, and incorporating new structural support within the confines of the old towers to carry the counterweight roadway. The Aerial Lift Bridge is a span drive configuration movable lift bridge. It is individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion C: Engineering as a rare bridge type of engineering at a national level. It is also a contributing resource to the determined-eligible Duluth Ship Canal Historic District. The Aerial Lift Bridge has had a series of rehabilitation work over the last 30 years. Major rehabilitations were conducted in 1986, 1999, 2007 and 2009. Among other repairs the major work in the rehabilitation included replacement of the operator’s house, bridge sidewalk and retaining walls (1986); repainting of the lower portion of the truss and floor system, and replacement of machinery and structural elements (1999); and repainting of the towers and upper portions of the truss (2007, 2009).
