Northern Pacific Bridge Number 9, Railway bridge at Mississippi River, Minneapolis, United States.
The Northern Pacific Bridge Number 9 extends 952 feet across the Mississippi River with a steel deck truss design and four separate lanes.
The bridge opened in 1924 to handle railroad traffic, replacing an earlier Northern Pacific crossing from 1885 that served the university area.
The structure connects the Seven Corners neighborhood to the University of Minnesota campus, forming a central passage for students and faculty members.
The bridge features designated bicycle and pedestrian paths, with direct access to West River Parkway trail and East River Parkway near research facilities.
Steam pipes installed beneath the deck deliver heating to the University of Minnesota West Bank Campus through an integrated infrastructure system.
