The Midtown Greenway bridge reconstruction is underway. First Ave. S will be closed through the fall and drivers will need to follow the posted detour route.
- First Ave. S is closed between 27th St. and Lake St. through the fall
- Vehicle detour route: Lake St., Lyndale Ave. and Franklin Ave.
- Bicycle detour route: Lake St., Blaisdell Ave and Nicollet Ave, and Franklin Ave
