Winona bridge to reopen for cars, trucks still out of luck

The Star Tribune is reporting that the Winona bridge will reopen on Saturday for passenger cars. However, it will remain closed to commercial trucks, and cars will not be able to pull any trailers, including boats.

I find it quite ironic that trucks will still be unable to use this major crossing. As I've written previously, if you read Tim Pawlenty's argument against investing in our infrastructure (PDF link), he writes that this will harm our economy. What could be more harmful than being unable to ship our products to the rest of the country?
