Dartmouth Bridge

The Dartmouth Bridge is a steel girder bridge that spans the Mississippi River in Minneapolis between the Cedar-Riverside area and the University of Minnesota campus area. It carries I-94/US 12/US 52. It was built in 1964 and was designed by Parsons Brinckerhoff, Quade and Douglas. It is named for its proximity to Dartmouth Avenue SE, just north of the bridge.

The original span was an uninspired girder bridge design when compared to other Mississippi River bridges in the vicinity. However, the bridge carries more vehicles than any other bridge in the state, on Interstate 94 between downtown Minneapolis and Saint Paul. The 125-foot long, 148-ton box girders were fabricated in Gary, Indiana and transported up the Mississippi River by barge in October 1963.
