5/28/09-A new law makes a lift bridge northeast of Minneapolis off-limits to truck drivers.
Previously SF1091, the new rule restricts the length of commercial vehicle combinations using state Highway 36 in downtown Stillwater, MN, to 55 feet. It is common for truckers to use the route to access the Stillwater Lift Bridge, which crosses the St. Croix River.
Signs notifying truckers of the length restriction are required to be posted by July 1. The restriction will not apply to specially permitted vehicles.
