10th Ave S bridge over Midtown Greenway
The City will improve the condition and safety of the 10th Ave S bridge.
Project overview
-
The 10th Ave S bridge was built in 1913 by the Chicago, Milwaukee, and Saint Paul Railroad. It was constructed to help separate railroad traffic from city streets.
-
The bridge has reinforced concrete deck girder structure, reinforced concrete abutments and piers.
-
Most of the 10th Ave S bridge is in poor condition. The bridge is currently closed for motor vehicles due to structural concerns. The bridge is open to pedestrians and bicyclists. The Greenway below the bridge is open for pedestrians and bicyclists as well.
-
This project will improve the condition of the bridge and safety for users.
Construction updates
Minneapolis Public Works started rebuilding the bridge the week of February 16, 2026. Most of this work is expected to be completed by December 2026.
The Midtown Greenway near the project area is closed to people walking and biking as of March 11, 2026. This closure is needed so crews can remove the bridge deck and ensure public safety. The closure is expected to last about three days.
During this time, the detour route will follow 10th Ave S, 28th St E, and Park Ave. Signs will be posted to help guide you. See the detour map below for more details.
