New Minn. Stamp Features Recently-Closed Bridge

WINONA, Minn. (AP) ― The new postage stamp commemorating Minnesota's 150th birthday features the Winona bridge that was closed this week.

The stamp shows the Minnesota Highway 43 bridge over the Mississippi River in the foreground of the picture.

The U.S. Postal Service issued the stamp 2 1/2 weeks ago. State officials closed the 67-year-old bridge on Tuesday after an inspection found rust and corrosion on several gusset plates.

New Brighton stamp dealer Dennis Abel calls it an "interesting coincidence" that will add interest to the new 42-cent stamp, "but not the value."
