Closure/Detour of West River Parkway Trail at Franklin Avenue Bridge
Thursday, May 7, 2015 at 5:50AM
Via a May 6 e-newsletter from the Minneapolis Park and Rec Board:
The off-street bicycle/pedestrian trail under the Franklin Avenue Bridge is closed for the next 4-6 weeks, effective immediately. Hennepin County and Kraemer North America are removing concrete and rebar from the west pier of the Franklin Avenue bridge as one of the first steps in the reconstruction of the bridge, which will be ongoing until the end of 2016.
The trail detour begins on the south side of Franklin Avenue to westbound Franklin Avenue to Riverside Avenue and then to 4th Street South back to West River Parkway. For your own safety, please follow the trail detour (map). Photos of the detour will be posted on the project webpage within the next few days.
The area under the bridge remains open to northbound and southbound automobile traffic on the parkway. Access to the Franklin Terrace Dog Park will not be affected.
