Rising waters on the St. Croix River will force the Stillwater lift bridge to close today. For the more than 16,000 cars and trucks that cross the bridge each day, the Minnesota Department of Transportation recommends detouring south to the Interstate 94 bridge at Hudson or north to the Highway 243 bridge at Osceola. MPR's Cathy Wurzer spoke with Stillwater Mayor Ken Harycki about the closure and the flooding.
