Together, they offer the sense that the Greenwood Street Corridor has anchored this part of the city for years. The “old stone bridge” aesthetic of the new bridges and the sweeping layout of Greenwood Street come together in a graceful geometry. The new three-span steel beam bridge and more than 900 feet of cast-in-place retaining walls match the aesthetic established by the Greenwood Street Bridge. The final segment of the project was the Canadian Pacific Railroad Bridge over Greenwood Street. Concrete form liners and red- and brown-toned stain gave the double arch piers the appearance of dry-stacked field stone. The resulting 300-foot-long, three-span bridge accommodates four lanes of vehicular traffic, snowmobiles, and pedestrians. Communication was vital among the city, public works staff, public and private utilities, engineers, and state and federal agencies, including MnDOT, Minnesota DNR, Federal Highway Administration, and U.S. and Digi-Key Corporation, both of which are located across the river on the west side of town.Īs the first phase of the project, the new Greenwood Street Bridge set the tone for the rest of the corridor. The project provides a vital east–west corridor and Red Lake River crossing that connects residential areas on the east side of the river with major employers Arctic Cat Inc. Segments include the Greenwood Street Bridge, which crosses the Red Lake River turn lanes and signal light at the Highway 32 intersection a roundabout at the Pennington Avenue intersection and the Canadian Pacific Railroad Bridge and Greenwood Street Underpass.
