Northern Pacific BNSF Rail Bridge crosses the Mississippi River in Minneapolis.
Northern Pacific BNSF Rail Bridge spans the Mississippi River in Minneapolis between downtown and Northeast Minneapolis. Originally built in 1884 for the Northern Pacific Railway, it provided rail access to yards north of downtown. The bridge has been altered and repaired over time and remains part of BNSF Railway operations in the city.

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.
