Stone Arch Bridge over Mississippi River, Minneapolis

Heavy water flowing under Stone Arch Bridge
The Stone Arch Bridge, completed in 1883, spans the Mississippi River in Minneapolis. Originally built by railroad magnate James J. Hill, it served as a vital transportation link for the Great Northern Railway. The bridge's distinctive stone arches are a testament to the era's engineering and architectural styles. Today, it is a pedestrian walkway and a popular spot for viewing the St. Anthony Falls, offering a connection to the city's industrial past and its natural landscape.
