Foggy Dusk at Third Avenue Bridge and St. Anthony Falls

The Third Avenue Bridge crosses the Mississippi River just downstream from Saint Anthony Falls, linking downtown Minneapolis to the university area to the east. Completed in 1918, it's a concrete arch span designed by engineer Kristoffer Olsen Oustad with a slight curve to fit the site's geology. Below it, the Lower St. Anthony Falls Lock and Dam helps vessels pass the falls, while the Gold Medal Flour sign, raised above the old Washburn-Crosby mill site in 1908, still marks the skyline behind it.
