As flooding subsides, barriers on the St. Croix River in Stillwater are coming down.

Stillwater Mayor Ted Kozlowski praised city workers and their work to put sandbags and a temporary levee up to keep the river from further flooding.

“This year, it really went off without a hitch. Everyone did a really good job, and I’m super proud of our public works team because, as you know, we had an epic winter as well. It was back-to-back snow storms.”

He said that clean-up should be finished in a few days.

Additionally, the Lift Bridge will reopen Monday, with the Bridge Lift and Loop Trail reopening May 19.

Less than two weeks ago, Stillwater saw its sixth-highest river crest on record at 90 feet.
