Downtown section of West River Parkway Reopens in mid-December

Via a November 20 update from Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board:

West River Parkway will reopen between Fourth Avenue North and Portland Avenue in mid-December. Once it reopens, the parkway 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. An exact date for the parkway reopening has not yet been determined. That date depends on variances in weather and a number of other factors that can affect a complicated construction project like Water Works. 

The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board appreciates everyone's patience while this exciting new waterfront amenity is constructed.
