“After thirty years of debate and delay, we finally got it done,” Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) said in a statement.
“This is a victory for the residents and businesses along the St. Croix River Valley who have waited long enough for a safe, new bridge. This effort is an example of what can get done when people put politics aside and do what is best for our state.”
“Today the St. Croix River Crossing Project was given a green light to proceed,”Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) said in a statement. “Finally, construction can officially begin on this common sense four-lane bridge project. I commend the President for signing this important piece of legislation."
