The Lowry Avenue Bridge project began in early 2010 and reopened to traffic October 2012. The new four-lane, 1,500-foot bridge crosses the Mississippi and connects north and northeast Minneapolis. About 16,000 vehicles cross the bridge each day. The bridge's high white steel beams and colored LED lights are striking, particularly at night. The bridge cost $104 million to build and ARM Member Cemstone supplied more than 25,000 cubic yards of concrete for it.
