 There is a one-block portion of the old alignment between Cedar and 19th Avenues that is branded as Washington Avenue, but to continue east of the river, one must travel down Cedar one block and turn east at 3rd Street and get on an entrance ramp to the bridge.East of the river, Washington Avenue acts as a major thoroughfare through the University of Minnesota campus; much of this section has been converted to a transit mall to facilitate the METRO Green Line, opened in June 2014.At the intersection of Oak Street and Washington is the Stadium Village area.
