Whitney Bridge Park

The Irene Hixon Whitney Bridge traverses 17 paths of occupied road and interstate expressway to interface the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden with Loring Park only west of downtown Minneapolis. Not at all like the mechanical style person on foot spans worked in the 1970s, the Irene Hixon Whitney Bridge is a fairly offbeat structure that was intended to be a bit of craftsmanship and in addition being an utilitarian scaffold. The outcome is a standout amongst the most unmistakable points of interest in the Twin Cities, one that is as fun as it is useful.

At the point when the interstate framework was worked in the Twin Cities, it cut the bustling wedge region close Hennepin and Lyndale road in two. It had for quite some time been wanted to tie these two zones of the city back together. An open door emerged when the city ordnance was tore down in the mid 1980s, and the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden was later extended. The possibility of making this scaffold into an utilitarian figure was a conspicuous decision given that the west end of the structure would arrive in the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden.
