“Only a hop, skip, and a jump!” a child’s voice echoed, their laughter bouncing off the steel arches of the 17th Avenue Bridge. The 17th Avenue Bridge isn’t just a bridge. It’s a time traveler, a silent sentinel watching over the city’s ever-changing skyline since 1916. This bridge, with its sturdy timber girders, stretches a modest 60 feet across Minnehaha Creek.

You might just hear the echoes of laughter, whispers of love, and the steady rhythm of a city on the move.
