Hastings Bridge
 |
As you you may know, Hastings is getting a new bridge, and the new arches are set to be put in place soon! We've been assured that the bridge work will not disrupt the music festival, and it appears as though the existing bridge will remain open through this weekend, so there shouldn't be any road closures or detours to factor in when coming in on Highway 61.
The best news is that at the Hastings Music Festival, you'll have front row seat for this remarkable and historic feat of engineering! Photo ops galore! Complete with background music!
We'll keep you posted if any of the news changes here, but your best bet to get updates on Saturday will be to "like" us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter.
Check out the following links to learn more:
- Minnesota Department of Transportation: You'll find up to date route information.
- Hastings Star Gazette: The Star Gazette will have up to the minute information as well as a nice historical perspective of the project, some very cool stuff!
- City of Hastings on Facebook: The City of Hastings has done a nice job keeping on top of the changes.
- Hastings Bridge Watch on Facebook: This is a non-official page of residents sharing information and (often very beautiful) photos of the project. It's worth taking a look!
There still is time to get your tickets online! We can't wait to see you so we can all Rock the River!
