Stone Arch Bridge Closed, Minneapolis

The Stone Arch Bridge in Minneapolis is temporarily closed to the public, as indicated by a sign on a chain-link fence. The bridge, originally constructed in 1883 for the Great Northern Railway, served as a vital transportation link for decades. After its operational life, it was repurposed and opened as a pedestrian and bicycle bridge in 1994, becoming a popular destination for recreation and offering views of the Mississippi River and the city's skyline. The closure, scheduled from June 30 to July 3, 2023, suggests ongoing maintenance or security measures.
