The Roosevelt Bridge has been reopened.

Renovations for the historic landmark are about 95 percent complete, according to Mower County officials, but the bridge opened for the winter on Monday.

The bridge spans the Cedar River on Fourth Street Southeast between Fourth Avenue and Sixth Avenue.

Public Works Director Mike Hanson said the bridge will need to be closed for just a few weeks next year to finish the project.

The historic restoration of the bridge started last year.

Previous estimates called for the project to cost about $3.6 million, with about $2.1 million in federal funding, $800,000 from state bonds and about $800,000 in local money.
