This bridge provides vehicle access to Raspberry Island. The island sits in the Mississippi River across from downtown St. Paul. It is directly under the Wabasha Bridge. When the new Wabasha Bridge was built, the old Raspberry Island Bridge was in the way. A temporary bridge was built just downstream. Once the Wabasha Bridge was done, a permanent Raspberry Island Bridge was installed.
