Chart of the Day: Saint Croix River Bridge Dimensions

I’m not sure if this technically counts as a chart, as it lacks a proper X axis, but it kinda looks like one if you squint.

What you’re currently squinting as it pretty self explanatory, via the Star Tribune, the sizes, lane widths, and heights of the three existing and soon-to-be-existing bridges over the Saint Croix River from Stillwater to Hudson.

A lot of digital ink has been spilled on this topic. A friend of mine joked on Twitter that they should have Gozdilla on the chart for a size comparison.

[OK I had to do it…]
