The Stone Arch Bridge, a historic 2,300-foot-long stone arch bridge spanning the Mississippi River in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Constructed in 1883, it was once the longest stone arch bridge in the world and served as a vital railway bridge for the Great Northern Railway. Today, the bridge is part of the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area and is a popular destination for pedestrians and cyclists, offering views of the St. Anthony Falls and the downtown Minneapolis skyline.
