Wakota Bridge

Ten lane bridge that replaced the previous bridge built in 1959. The name is derived from the two counties it connects, Washington and Dakota

The bridge only smells when the wind is from the NE. It brings the smell from the Pigs Eye sewage treatment plant. Dont obsess about the odor . Enjoy the view of St. Paul and the river .

Patrick D. says watch the road ! However if you do that you miss the terrific view of the river .

NEW - an Odor Hotline Number is now available for you to report odor concerns/complaints. Odor Hotline #651-430-1100 or online http://www.southstpaulodorcomplaints.com/

It's redundant to continue to complain about the smell of this bridge . We've known this bridge smells for years.

Roll up your windows. Turn off the air. Close the vents. Hold your breath to avoid the vomitus reek of Stinky Bridge .

Plug your nose. This bridge smells as you drive towards South St. Paul/Newport.

Soooo glad I'm not stuck in rush hour on that bridge !! It smelt like dog-vomit-poop!

Great view of the Mississippi :)

It is stinky on the east side f the bridge .

I feel like there is always some sort of construction on this bridge .

Plug your nose in south st paul

Good fishing spot .

Can't smell it from my house

The river does NOT stink people...it is the plant that smells...sigh

Hold yer breath !

Hold your breath , it's almost over!

Ride the bus

Plug your nose

Watch the road
