LUTSEN, Minn. – The two iconic covered bridges at Lutsen Resort on Minnesota’s North Shore are “severely damaged.”
Owner Bryce Campbell says pine and spruce were swept down the Poplar River during last week’s flooding and crashed into them. Campbell says the bridges are repairable and “will be saved at all costs” and will remain a permanent part of Lutsen’s history.
He says there’s no doubt the bridges were well-built, that they’ve seen highway bridges wash out from less force.
Three bridges just upstream on the Poplar, used to access ski runs at Lutsen Mountains resort, were destroyed in the flooding.
