What is happening to the St. Paul exit ramp and Harwood Street Bridge?
The St. Paul off-ramp will be straightened from its current radius ramp movement. This will allow the St. Paul traffic to make a left turn onto the eastbound frontage road which is currently not permitted. This improves access to the Arts District from St. Paul. The Harwood Street Bridge will be closed to create a pedestrian bridge and great lawn. The Arts District Strategic Plan recommends Harwood be made a two-way street on either side of the park which would improve access to the neighboring museums, access to parking garages, and automobile movements around the park.
