I-94/22nd Avenue South Bike & Pedestrian Bridge Survey: Experiences

Introduction

Thank you for taking the time to participate in this survey. Your feedback is valuable in helping us understand the current use and potential improvements for the I-94/22nd Avenue South Bike & Pedestrian Bridge. Please take a few minutes to answer the following questions.

Background

The I-94/22nd Avenue South Bike & Pedestrian Bridge was constructed in 1962 to connect the Seward neighborhood south of I-94 with Augsburg University and the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood north of I-94.

In 2019, a truck hit the bridge, damaging it beyond repair. MnDOT placed a temporary bridge. We are now in the process of planning and designing the permanent bridge.
