Location:
|
The Minnesota State Highway 5 in St. Paul is the closest to the Lindbergh Terminal, near the Interstate 494 and Highway 55. The Humphrey terminal can be reached via the exit of the I-494 to 34th Avenue which passes the Fort Snelling National Cemetery. Since the Northwest Airlines has had its hangar on the I-494 and 34th Avenue, passers by may see the maintenance work on the aircraft.
Besides the free shuttle services between the two terminals the airport is connected to many other local public transport services. Most of the connections leave from the hub building and the adjacent Transit Center, which provides city and shuttle buses as well as light rail stations and taxi stands. There are two tramlines directly at the airport, which serve both terminals from downtown Minneapolis in the north and the "Mall of America” in Bloomington in the south. From the Ground Transportation Atrium, one floor above the tram level, passengers have direct access to all shuttle buses, the Metro Transit buses (including the line 54) as well as taxis and limousines.
