First Southwest LRT vehicle tests Kenilworth Tunnel

Light rail test vehicle entering the Kenilworth Tunnel on the Southwest LRT extension in Minneapolis.
A light rail vehicle enters the Kenilworth Tunnel on the Southwest LRT Green Line extension in Minneapolis. The image shows the new below-grade tunnel portal and adjacent tracks as testing proceeds on a section of the line built to carry trains through the Kenilworth corridor. Construction on this segment began in 2018, and the extension is projected to open for passenger service in 2027. Apartment buildings, construction access roads, and fall foliage frame the route near the tunnel entrance.
