Southwest LRT tunnel construction on Midtown Greenway, Minneapolis

Light rail tunnel construction from the bike trail
Construction is underway on the Southwest Light Rail Transit (LRT) project in Minneapolis, as seen from the Midtown Greenway. This extensive infrastructure project aims to connect Minneapolis, St. Louis Park, Hopkins, Minnetonka, and Eden Prairie via a new light rail line. The construction visible here involves the tunneling and bridge work necessary to integrate the new transit line into the existing urban landscape. The Midtown Greenway itself is a popular multi-use trail that runs through the heart of Minneapolis, providing a vital corridor for cyclists and pedestrians.
