Martin Olav Sabo Bridge, Cable-stayed pedestrian bridge in Phillips neighborhood, Minneapolis, United States

The Martin Olav Sabo Bridge extends 2,200 feet with a main span of 220 feet over Hiawatha Avenue and the METRO Blue Line in Minneapolis.

The bridge, which opened on November 8, 2007, required temporary closure in 2012 due to structural issues with its supporting cables and underwent repairs.

The structure bears the name of Minnesota Congressman Martin Olav Sabo, who secured $2.9 million in federal funding during his fourteen terms of service.

This bridge connects multiple neighborhoods through the Midtown Greenway trail system, allowing cyclists and pedestrians to cross without stopping at traffic signals.

The structure features a 100-foot tower that anchors supporting cables into limestone bedrock, making it Minnesota's first cable-stayed suspension bridge.
