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.
