Minneapolis Skyway at Night in Spring Rain

The Minneapolis Skyway system, the longest continuous network of enclosed pedestrian bridges in the world, is visible here at night during a spring rain. Completed in 1974, the skyway connects buildings across 11 kilometers of downtown Minneapolis, providing a climate-controlled environment for pedestrians. This infrastructure was developed to encourage downtown development and to offer a safe and convenient way to navigate the city, especially during harsh winter months. The wet streets reflect the city lights, highlighting the skyway's role in shaping the urban experience of Minneapolis.
