Ahh yes... at 2:32 lives the pedestrian bridge at Second Avenue. I grew up just south of it, back when AB Dick, Atlas Van Lines, and Patterson Dental were the only buildings north of 79th. We used to ride our bikes on the trails in the fields, and then, when we were feeling REALLY brave (i.e. stupid as shit) we would cross the bridge on the OUTSIDE of the protective fence, with our feet on the girders. You'd be suprised how many drivers never noticed we were potential windshield decorations!

thanks for putting this up. What's interesting is that 494 used to end by MN5 and then you had to take that up to MN 100? (Mendota Hts Blvd) and then it would turn back into 494. There used to be a traffic light at M. Hts. Blvd and 52. I think they connected the 494 together in the '80s. I have a 1980 Rand McNally that shows the 494 not quite completed. I'm from Cleveland, have Minnesota friends, ja? :) and I love this vid.

The actual driving time within this video is 3.58 mins (out of the total 4 mins and 18 seconds total video duration), during which you drove 33 miles. This means that your apparent speed in this video is an incredible 553 MPH! That's why you feel a little sick while watching it. Can you imagine driving a metro freeway in traffic at 553 MPH? Keep up the good work.

If only they would connect it to Phalen Blvd via the Furness Pkwy and along the railroad tracks. Then it would be one sweet drive.
