Virginia Triangle

The Virginia Triangle, atop the Lowry Hill Tunnel. The Walker Art Center is at the right.

The Virginia Triangle is the commons of Hennepin and Lyndale Avenues on Lowry Hill, Minneapolis. Until 1967, it was a simple (though congested) intersection,[1] with a small park in the center. Today it contains many on- and off-ramps and a number of large intersections, servicing Hennepin and Lyndale, as well as Interstate 94. Interstate 94 also runs directly under the site, through the Lowry Hill Tunnel. The Walker Art Center and the Basilica of Saint Mary are located adjacent to the Triangle.
