Kenilworth LRT Tunnel Construction, Minneapolis June 2024

Construction is underway on the Kenilworth LRT Tunnel in Minneapolis, a key component of the Southwest Light Rail Transit (Green Line) extension. This half-mile tunnel is designed to reroute existing freight rail and create a dedicated corridor for light rail service, improving transit capacity and connectivity in the Twin Cities metropolitan area. The project, managed by the Metropolitan Council, aims to integrate new transit options with existing infrastructure. The construction site is situated near residential areas and the Minneapolis skyline is visible in the distance, under a sky with approaching storms.
