Update on Kern Bridge construction in Mankato

MANKATO, Minn. (KEYC) - Work continues on the Kern Bridge project in Mankato.

The project will connect Land of Memories and Sibley parks, and uses the historic Kern Bridge, refurbished into a walking bridge.

That walking path is taking shape, and the Kern Bridge itself finally fully refurbished and is on site.

The bridge was originally built in 1873, and is expected to re-open as a pedestrian bridge this fall.
