The Rememberance Garden

The I-35W bridge collapse memorial is known as the Rememberance Garden. It is located about one-quarter mile west of the new I-35W Saint Anthony Falls Bridge along West River Parkway. It is about a block east of the Guthrie Theater and located directly north of Gold Medal Park. The garden was dedicated on August 1, 2011, at 6:05 PM, exactly 4 years to the minute from the the moment of the tradegy.

This photo is a view looking north across the Mississippi River from the river overlook at the Rememberance Garden. The University of Minnesota Southwest Steam Plant dominates the riverbank, with the remains of the old Lower Bridge being visible on the far left side of the photo.

Looking upstream from the Rememberance Garden overlook, we see the Stone Arch Bridge, with Riverplace and Saint Anthony Main in the background.

These two photos are views of the Rememberance Garden under construction in May, 2011. The photo above is a view of the site looking east from the walkway along West River Parkway, while the photo below is a view of the foundation for the walkway in front of the series of vertical columns.
