US Steel Pipeline Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

While on the Mesabi Trail, pass under this US Steel Pipeline Bridge crossing Highway 169. This pipeline echoes the iron-rich industrial past that is visible throughout this area. Another notable, and invisible, event here is that the ground under Highway 169 has been slowly slumping due to century-old underground iron mines. In 2008, MnDOT, as a preemptive safety measure, constructed a $7.4 million reinforced concrete structure to keep this roadway safe from cave-ins.
