Downtown Section of West River Parkway Reopens December 16
West River Parkway will reopen between Fourth Avenue North and Portland Avenue on Monday, Dec. 16, 2019. The parkway and adjacent trails will remain open throughout the winter.
The parkway closure was necessary to accommodate work on Water Works, a new riverfront park project currently under construction.
The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board appreciates everyone's patience while this exciting new waterfront amenity is constructed.
