USPS: Minneapolis Loop Station reopens, Powderhorn Station remains closed
The United States Postal Service said Friday that its Minneapolis Loop Station will reopen but the Powderhorn Station will remain closed.
According to the USPS, the Minneapolis Powderhorn Station will be closed until further notice while repairs are underway to fix damage from recent riots and civil unrest. Retail and PO Boxes are expected to reopen next week.
PO Box mail and hold mail will be available at the Minneapolis Main Post Office, located at 100 S 1st Street.
Meanwhile, the Loop Station reopened Thursday.
The update comes after postal operations were relocated for the Minnehaha and Lake Street stations because they were destroyed by fire.
