West River Parkway is scheduled to close to all motorized vehicle traffic between Portland Avenue and 11th Avenue S on Tuesday, Aug. 3, 2021. The closure is necessary to bring in a crane for repairs to the Mill City Museum.
The parkway will reopen by 4 pm on August 3 to accommodate the high volume of people expected to attend National Night Out festivities.
The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board appreciates the public's patience during a time when infrastructure repair projects have necessitated many parkway closures. Information on two previously announced closures is below.
13th Avenue S-22nd Avenue S; July 12-mid September, 2021
The parkway is closed to motor vehicle traffic between 13th Avenue S and 22nd Avenue S through mid September, 2021 for the rehabilitation of 10th Avenue SE Bridge by the City of Minneapolis and repairs to Bridge #9 (the bike/pedestrian bridge serving the Dinkytown Greenway) by the University of Minnesota. Trail traffic is rerouted onto the parkway while bridge work continues above the trails. Paradise Charter Cruises is accessible via 22nd Avenue S.
4th Avenue N-Portland Avenue; mid-late August
The parkway and adjacent trails are scheduled to close between 4th Avenue N and Portland Avenue in mid-late August. The closure is necessary for the reconstruction of the 3rd Avenue Bridge by the Minnesota Department of Transportation. More details about this closure will be shared later this summer as the bridge reconstruction project progresses.
Please visit the Hwy 65/3rd Avenue Bridge Reconstruction website for more details.
