Bridges carry Minneapolis' surface streets over the Midtown Greenway. The elegant spans are almost 100 years old, and there are plans to replace the bridges at some point in the future.

Most of the bridges are labeled with the name of the road they carry for easy navigation.

As the Minneapolis Greenway is mostly below street level, the only way into or out of the trail is at access points. There is a ramp or stairs every couple of blocks.
