The Stone Arch Bridge is a preserved historic bridge in downtown Minneapolis, serving as the only stone arched bridge crossing the entire length of the Mississippi River. The bridge was originally constructed in 1883 for a sum of over $17.1 million USD in modern currency, intended to connect the city's Great Northern Railway system to its Union Depot. Today, it is preserved as an Historic Civil Engineering Landmark and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, located within the Saint Anthony Falls Historic District. 23 arches are located along the 2,100-foot bridge, which crosses the river near Saint Anthony Falls. A National Park Service-operated visitor center is located along the bridge's western end, open to the public daily during business hours, with tours of the bridge offered on foot tree times daily.
