Come see the BRIDGE

Almost exactly 10 years ago on a beautiful evening at rush hour Minneapolis came crashing to a halt; literally and figuratively. The main 35W Bridge on the busiest stretch of freeway in the state had collapsed into the landmark falls of the Mississippi River at the bithplace of the City.

Photographer Vance Gellert chronicled and photographed the aftermath of both the twisted metal and lives.

Opening at MPC on the solemn anniversary--exactly 10 years later.  6:00 p.m. 

FREE and Open to the Public.
