The Arch Bridge is an ancient structure crafted from native granite and calcareous materials. Comprising twenty-three arches constructed from calcareous stone and utilizing approximately 100,000 tons of granite, it is the sole arched stone bridge along the Mississippi River. Standing as a testament to national civil engineering, the bridge offers a breathtaking panoramic view of St. Anthony Falls and has become an iconic landmark. The Stone Arch Bridge Festival takes place each June, inviting over 250 artists and musicians to showcase their talents. As one of the finest vantage points to appreciate the majestic view of St. Anthony Falls, the bridge holds a special place for visitors and locals alike.”
