The new bridge crossing the Minnesota River in Shakopee was built just downstream of the old bridge. The old bridge remains in place as a regional trail crossing.

This area was once the Minnesota River crossing for US-169. US-169 now bypasses Shakopee and crosses the river on the new Bloomington Ferry Bridge. MN-101 also used this crossing, but the state turned this section of MN-101 back to the county. MN-101 now runs as far south as US-212, which is about 2 miles north of the river. As a result, the new bridge and the retired section of US-169 south and west of the river crossing are now a county road with the designation CSAH-69. Minnesota has two tiers of county road, the higher class is known as County State Aid Highways, and are nearly as good as a state highway.
