Traffic impacts

There will be some closures. 

  • The bridge will be closed to traffic during construction activities.
  • Minnehaha Creek will be closed at times to canoes, kayaks, tubing, etc., as required for safety reasons during construction activities. A portage will be provided when the creek is in season.
  • The trail along Minnehaha Pkwy. on the north side of the bridge will remain open.

This project is in complete as of January 23, 2023.
