Hennepin Ave Bridge, Minneapolis, Grain Belt Sign at Night

The Hennepin Avenue Bridge, illuminated at night, crosses the Mississippi River in Minneapolis, connecting downtown with the Northeast neighborhood. Completed in 1990, this suspension bridge is the fifth structure to occupy this historically significant crossing point, which was the site of the first bridge over the Mississippi River in Minneapolis. The prominent Grain Belt Beer sign, a local landmark, is affixed to the bridge, reflecting its neon glow onto the river below. This infrastructure continues to serve as a vital transportation artery for vehicles and pedestrians within the city.
