The Prescott Drawbridge, also called the Point Douglas Drawbridge is a steel girder bridge with a double-leaf drawbridge section. The roadbed of the drawbridge span is a steel grate. The bridge crosses the St. Croix River and connects Prescott, Wisconsin with Point Douglas, Minnesota. This is the only drawbridge in the Minneapolis-St.Paul area. It was completed in 1990 and replaced a rare regional example of a Waddell and Harrington vertical lift bridge completed in 1922 which operated as a toll bridge from 1923-1946.
