The 667.6 -meter-long arch bridge consists of five arches with a span of 64 m, two arches with a span of 41 meters, as well as bridge spans both ends. It connects the Third Avenue in downtown Minneapolis with the Central Avenue on the north side of the river. The S-shaped route across the Mississippi River to avoid breaks in the limestone of the river bed, which might be caused under the weight of the pillars.
