Stone Arch Bridge at St. Anthony's Falls
(Sights & Activities - Sightseeing)
6th St at the Mississippi River
Minneapolis MN 55401

Description:
DOWNTOWN. The Stone Arch Bridge was built by James Hill to establish railroad passage across the Mississippi River. Originally dubbed a folly, the structure eventually vindicated Hill. In 1982, the bridge was closed to rail traffic and was purchased by the state as a pedestrian/bicycle bridge. It's the second-oldest bridge on the Mississippi and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
