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.
