Midtown Greenway Bridge and Trail Sunset, Minneapolis

Very colorful red orange and yellow sunset on trail
The Midtown Greenway, a 5.5-mile-long rail-with-trail corridor, traverses south Minneapolis, providing a dedicated path for cyclists and pedestrians. Developed from a former railway corridor, primarily the Milwaukee Road's Short Line, it officially opened as a multi-use path in 2000. This infrastructure serves as a vital transportation artery, connecting various neighborhoods and offering a car-free route across the city. The image shows a bridge carrying vehicular traffic over the Greenway, illustrating the integration of modern urban development with historical transportation routes in the Uptown Minneapolis area.
