Sunday Bridge-Different View Points

O

The 740 River Drive Apartment and Condo building looks like it's sitting on  the Ford Parkway Bridge, which crosses the Mississippi river, connecting St. Paul and Minneapolis.  Of course, it isn't but it sits on the banks of the Mississippi and has a fantastic view of both the bridge and the river.

                                                                    The bridge is designed with beautiful arches.




Before crossing the bridge on the west side, a road runs down to the locks and dams where there is a Visitor Center.

It's great fun either to walk or bike across the bridge when everything along the river is lush and green.

  2. It's a beautifully designed bridge Kate, love the framing in that last shot, sitting on that bench would give you a great view I suspect!

  5. I was immediately struck by those many slender arches. They make the bridge look so elegant.

  9. The bridge is handsome. If I lived in a high rise, I's want a view like the people who live on the Mississippi River side of the building.

  11. Love seeing this bridge over the mighty Mississippi... My husband is from Natchez, MS and the bridge there is stunning at night with all its lights. Great to see the crossings of this wonderful river.
