Lowry Avenue Bridge, Minneapolis, 1905-2009
Interior view of the Lowry Avenue Bridge steel truss structure, Minneapolis, 1905–2009.
The Lowry Avenue Bridge connected north and south Minneapolis across the Mississippi River. Built in 1905 as a steel truss structure, the bridge served the city for over a century. Structural deterioration led to its closure in April 2008, and it was demolished by controlled explosions in June 2009 to make way for a replacement.
