A small sinkhole that formed next to the bicycle path near Mill Ruins Park has forced the emergency closure of West River Parkway between Portland Avenue and 4th Avenue N. Detours for the area have been posted.

The bike trail has been closed and bikes are detoured to the nearby pedestrian path. Cyclists should yield to pedestrians while using the path.

West River Parkway will be closed until Minneapolis Park Board and City of Minneapolis staff can assess any potential impact to the parkway.
