U.S. Government Shutdown Won't Affect St. Croix Crossing

Work on the project will continue, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation.

The federal government may start shutting down some of its functions Tuesday because of the budget impasse in Washington, D.C., but that won't stop construction on the St. Croix Crossing project. 

"We don't anticipate impacts because of the federal government shutdown," MnDOT spokesperson Jessica Wiens said Monday morning, explaining it was "because of the temporary nature of this type of thing."
