Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (MN-06) released the following statement after a survey of St. Croix River Valley residents showed overwhelming local support for the river crossing project she is working on in Congress:

“The survey results released today reinforce what I have been saying for over a decade: the residents of the St. Croix River Valley are ready for a new river crossing. The Stillwater Lift Bridge served its purpose and now it is time for a modern and reliable structure to replace it. We are close to the finish line in Congress, and I am confident that once the legislation is heard in the House of Representatives, we will finally be able to move forward on a new crossing.”

Among other findings, the survey of 400 registered voters in the St. Croix River Valley found 86 percent “support the proposal to build a new four-¬‐lane bridge just south of the city of Stillwater.” An executive summary and statistics of the survey are available at www.stcroixcrossing.org.
