Renderings of River Bridge and Pier Design
Daytime view of the new Mississippi River bridge. Red Wing and Barn Bluff are on the right; Wisconsin is on the left.
Evening view of the new Mississippi River bridge. Architectural and other required lighting elements, including channel navigation lights and roadway and trail lighting, will be designed to minimize light spill on light-sensitive resources.

What is an EA/EAW?
An Environmental Assessment/Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EA/EAW) is prepared to disclose the potential social, economic, and environmental eff ects of a proposed project. The EA/EAW identifi es the project purpose and need, alternatives considered and evaluates the potential eff ects of the project. The document also discusses eff orts made to minimize impacts and identifi es mitigation commitments. Areas of Potential Environmental Impact Assessed in an EA/EAW?
• Land Use • Traffi c• Social & Community Eff ects• Right-of-Way & Relocation• Economics• Pedestrian/Bicycle Movements• Noise• Air Quality• Wetlands• Water Quality/Surface Water• Drainage
• Fish & Wildlife Habitat• Groundwater• Threatened/Endangered Species• Parks/Recreational Areas• Floodplains• Vegetation/Land Cover• Cumulative Potential Eff ects• Contaminated Properties• Environmental Justice• Visual Quality• Archeological/Historic Sites
Who Reviews And Approves The EA/EAW When It Is Completed?
The Minnesota Department of Transportation, Wisconsin Department of Transportation, and the Federal Highway Administration approved the US 63 River Bridge and Approach Roadways Project EA/EAW, which was published on June 22, 2015. A public and agency review/comment period is being held and all comments submitted by July 22, 2015 will be considered prior to a fi nal determination by MnDOT and FHWA.

Summary of Environmental Impacts for the Preferred Alternative
• Approximately 2.9 acres of permanent right-of-way and 1.2 acres of temporary easements are needed. There are 5 acquisitions and 2 relocations.
• 6.5 acres of wetland impacts.
• No substantial fl oodplain impacts (fl ood elevation and/or frequency) anticipated.
• Requires removal of Bridge 9103 (over US 61). No other cultural resource (archaeological or architectural) impacts.
• Noise levels on Minnesota side exceed residential noise standards and meet noise barrier criteria (noise barrier voting will occur this August).
• No substantial cumulative potential eff ects anticipated.
• No farmland impacts.
• No adverse Environmental Justice populations impacted.• Minor impacts to wildlife and sensitive habitats.
• Aesthetic treatment proposed for bridge structure (no adverse visual impacts anticipated).
• Temporary traffi c impacts anticipated during construction, but substantial improvement to traffi c operation in downtown Red wing anticipated following construction.
• Seven identifi ed sites of potential contamination are found within the construction limits.
