Bridge 9 Improvement Project Update
Wednesday, March 19, 2025 at 10:44AM
Bridge No. 9 was constructed in 1922 by the Northern Pacific Railroad to carry freight over the Mississippi. The City of Minneapolis acquired this bridge in 1986 and converted the bridge to a pedestrian use bridge in 1999. The bridge currently provides a Mississippi River crossing for the Dinkytown Greenway bike trail.

2025 Construction Phase
Public Works has been working on this bridge in phases over the past few years, starting with the substructure work (piers and abutments). In 2025, the scope of work will focus on the superstructure, which includes removing and replacing the approach span decks, replacing the existing railing with a high-safety railing and rehabilitating the east side abutment.
To complete this work, the bridge will be closed from April 7, 2025, to December 2025.
