35W Remembrance Garden

35W Remembrance Garden Fund

Thank you for visiting the 35W Remembrance Garden Fund website.

The 35W Remembrance Garden Fund has been established at The Minneapolis Foundation to receive contributions in support of the design, construction and maintenance of a memorial that will remember the thirteen individuals who died, the survivors and all those changed by the tragedy of the Interstate 35W bridge collapse on August 1, 2007.

The 35W Remembrance Garden will be located at Gold Medal Park and has been designed by Tom Oslund in consultation with the survivors and the families of those who died in the collapse. To view illustrations of the architect's design, click here.
