“Stone Arch Bridge offers a panoramic view of St. Anthony Falls and is recognized as a National Civil Engineering Landmark. The bridge was constructed to connect the railway system to the new Union Depot, which at that time was planned to be built between Hennepin Avenue and Nicollet Avenue. The bridge is made of native granite and calcareous stone and has a length of 2,100 feet and a width of 28 feet. The bridge features 100,000 tons of granite and twenty-three arches made of calcareous stone. Stone Arch Bridge is the only arched bridge made of stone on the entire Mississippi River. The Bridge Festival takes place in June and features more than 250 artists and musicians. The bridge is one of the best places to enjoy St. Anthony Falls.”
