Cars, cars parked, bikers, walkers on the new Hennepin Avenue in Uptown Minneapolis.

After almost 2 years of construction, Hennepin Avenue was re-opened today. The closure ripped up the entire street rebuilding it back with bike and bus lanes.

Amid the long-running Hennepin Avenue reconstruction, residents added a dose of humor and gratitude by dressing Halloween skeletons in reflective vests and hard hats, mounting them on a front-yard tree with “Thank You Construction Crews!” signs. This improvised display along the busy corridor captures both the extended disruption of the project and the community’s appreciation for the workers transforming one of Minneapolis’s key thoroughfares.
