Completed in 2012, the Lowry Avenue Bridge remains one of Minneapolis, Minnesota's most recognizable landmarks.

Constructed by Lunda, the 1,600-foot-long bridge features a signature basket-handle structural steel arch with a 450-foot main span. An important transportation corridor, it carries vehicle, pedestrian, bicycle, rail, and river traffic while connecting busy residential and business districts across the Mississippi River.

More than a decade after completion, the bridge continues to serve as both critical infrastructure and a symbol of community pride. Its iconic blue LED lighting changes throughout the year to recognize holidays, support community causes, and enhance special events, ensuring the bridge remains an active and recognizable part of the Minneapolis skyline.

Projects like the Lowry Avenue Bridge demonstrate how infrastructure can do more than move people. It can become part of the identity of the communities it serves.

At Lunda, we know strong communities are built by people willing to lend a hand.

Recently, Lunda employees joined fellow volunteers and community partners, including Rainbow Inc, to support the mission of Hearts & Hammers. The day began with a group stretch and safety briefing before volunteers got to work. Together, the team spent the day painting and restoring the exterior of a local homeowner's residence, helping ensure she can continue enjoying the home she loves for years to come.

Thank you to Hearts & Hammers, Rainbow Inc., and all the volunteers who contributed their time and expertise to make the day a success.

Recently, WI Rep Shannon Zimmerman joined the Wisconsin Transportation Builders Association for a firsthand look at Lunda's rehabilitation work on the I-94 St. Croix River bridges!

We appreciate the opportunity to share the challenges and complexities of maintaining critical transportation infrastructure while keeping traffic moving safely. Thank you to WTBA and Rep. Zimmerman for spending time with our team on site!

When a stone arch box culvert failed beneath a Union Pacific Railroad line near Ashton, Illinois, restoring service quickly was critical.

Union Pacific crews initially installed a temporary corrugated metal pipe inside the existing culvert to return the line to operation. Lunda's Railroad Division was then brought in to deliver a permanent solution while keeping rail traffic moving.

Our crews jacked and bored two 84-inch structural steel pipes beneath the active rail line, installed and grouted a 60-inch structural steel pipe within the temporary crossing, placed more than 500 tons of riprap, and completed channel and site restoration.

The project moved fast. Awarded on April 30, equipment arrived on May 3, work began on May 4, and the entire rehabilitation was completed in just four weeks.

By using jack-and-bore construction, trains remained in service throughout the installation, minimizing disruption while restoring the long-term integrity of the crossing.

The Ashton Culvert Rehabilitation is another example of Lunda's ability to mobilize quickly, solve complex infrastructure challenges, and keep critical transportation networks moving.

It's a beautiful day for a deck pour on the Kellogg Bridge project in Saint Paul, Minnesota!

This morning's drone footage, courtesy of Cemstone, captures deck placement activities as work continues on the new bridge. With more than 60% of the deck now poured, the project team remains ahead of schedule and focused on safely delivering this important transportation connection for the community.

When complete, the new Kellogg Bridge will feature four lanes of traffic, along with wide, 12-foot multi-use paths on both sides that provide bicyclists and pedestrians with safe, barrier-separated space of their own. The bridge will also support the new Gold Line Bus Rapid Transit service, helping improve transit connections between Washington County, Woodbury, and downtown Saint Paul.

We're proud to be part of building a vital infrastructure investment that will serve the region for decades to come!

to the Mouse River Flood Protection Project in Minot, North Dakota, a project that may not have the soaring arches of some of our larger bridge work, but plays an equally important role in protecting the surrounding community.

This infrastructure investment combined flood protection, roadway improvements, utility work, and critical water management infrastructure into a system designed to help protect approximately 60 percent of Minot residents while limiting impacts to the neighborhoods surrounding the corridor.

In 2021, the project received the Excellence in Concrete Gold Star Award for a governmental project from the North Dakota Ready-Mix and Concrete Products Association.

Bonus points for Lunda fans who recognize the Broadway Avenue Bridge, directly adjacent to the Mouse River project site, as yet another successful Lunda project!

Not all vital infrastructure is dramatic. Sometimes its greatest success is helping communities weather the storms that never make the headlines.

Lunda team members Hayden Holmberg and Tracey Jackson enjoyed connecting with attendees at CareerForce’s 20th Annual Veterans Career Fair this week!

The event introduced more than 100 employers to job seekers at many different stages of their careers, from experienced veterans with construction management backgrounds to students exploring internships, to skilled tradespeople considering new opportunities within the construction industry.

One theme came through clearly in conversations throughout the day: there are many transferable skills between military service and construction. Leadership, adaptability, teamwork, communication, problem-solving, and working safely in challenging environments all translate naturally to the work we do every day.

Lunda Construction Company is proud of the veterans on our team, and we are honored that so many who chose to serve our country have also chosen careers helping build and maintain vital infrastructure in our communities.

Thank you to CareerForceMN, the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development, and the Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs for continuing to support meaningful connections between employers and job seekers through this longstanding event.

Work continues on the Minnesota Department of Transportation’s I-94 and I-394 Interchange Project in Minneapolis, where crews are performing repairs to 34 bridges and ramps along the corridor between downtown Minneapolis and Highway 100.

Current operations involve deck removal work at the Penn and Dunwoody bridges as part of Lunda’s 2026 efforts, which include more than 127,000 square feet of re-decking work across four bridges.

Recently, the project also served as a firsthand introduction to heavy highway construction for participants in LiUNA's Laborers Career Pathways program, which helps women and people of color explore opportunities in the construction industry.

After first hearing from Lunda’s Tracey Jackson about “A Day in the Life of Lunda,” participants joined Lunda Project Engineer Max Byzewski on-site to observe active bridge repair operations up close.

For many, it was a first close-up look at heavy highway construction in progress, including the realities of working at heights, coordinating complex operations, and maintaining vital infrastructure in a busy urban corridor.

As Max shared afterward, reactions varied, but several participants showed strong interest in the work, and one even discovered family connections with current Lunda team members already in the industry!

We appreciate the opportunity to help introduce the next generation of skilled construction professionals to the people and projects behind the work that keeps our communities connected.

At Lunda, we love building future builders!

Some bridges become landmarks because they’re beautiful. Others become landmarks because just about everyone in the Twin Cities has been stuck on them at least once.

The Lafayette Bridge in downtown St. Paul might qualify as both.

Completed in 2015, the replacement of the aging TH 52 Lafayette Bridge was one of Minnesota’s largest and most complex transportation projects of its era. The original 1968 bridge carried more than 80,000 vehicles per day through one of the busiest interchange systems in the Twin Cities.

The new bridge system stretches more than 3,200 feet across the Mississippi River, city streets, rail corridors, levees, utilities, and light rail infrastructure near downtown St. Paul.

Beginning in 2011, Lunda maintained extensive coordination with the U.S. Coast Guard, the St. Paul Port Authority, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, rail operations, river traffic, and numerous local stakeholders, all while maintaining traffic through a critical regional corridor.

And then came the winter of 2014.

Crews worked through one of the harshest Minnesota winters on record (“Polar Vortex,” anyone?), battling subzero temperatures during bridge deck construction while keeping the project moving forward and ultimately completing a major portion of the work ahead of schedule, earning high praise from MnDOT along the way.

The replacement bridge improved traffic movements through the corridor, expanded access through the interchange system, and replaced a fracture-critical structure with a modern crossing designed to serve the region for generations to come.

Today, the Lafayette Bridge remains a critical link at the heart of St. Paul, carrying people to work, home, events, and everywhere in between while connecting regional interstate traffic, river commerce, rail corridors, and local communities.

But beneath the daily traffic flows a remarkable story of infrastructure built across roads, rivers, rails, and one unforgettable Minnesota winter.
