Third Avenue Bridge Construction, Minneapolis Sunset
July 2022
—
Construction cranes are visible over the Third Avenue Bridge in Minneapolis during a sunset. This bridge is a critical link between downtown Minneapolis and the Northeast community, spanning the Mississippi River. The ongoing reconstruction project aims to modernize the structure, which was originally built in the early 20th century and has served as a key piece of the city's transportation network.

US Bank Stadium Steel Frame Construction, Minneapolis
July 2015
—
U.S. Bank Stadium, home of the Minnesota Vikings, began construction in December 2013 on the site of the former Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome in downtown Minneapolis. The stadium’s steel skeleton, seen here during its mid-construction phase, showcases the dramatic angular geometry that defines its final form — a nod to both Nordic shipbuilding and Minnesota’s icy winter landscapes.
The project, designed by HKS Architects and constructed by Mortenson, features over 19,000 tons of structural steel and spans 1.75 million square feet. Its transparent ETFE roof panels and vast steel trusses were among the most complex structural assemblies ever attempted in a U.S. stadium build.
Completed in 2016, the $1.1 billion stadium remains one of the most technically ambitious indoor venues in North America, notable for its fixed-roof design, massive glass curtain walls, and precision-engineered support cranes like the red lattice boom seen here — used to hoist the roof trusses into place during overnight construction sessions.
