The new pedestrian bridge over I-35 is expected to open for use after 5 p.m. on October 31. We are excited to see this important connection open! The bridge serves as an important community transportation connector, including providing connections for folks using the Cross City Trail and Superior Hiking Trail.

Because there was a delay with delivery of the permanent railings, there will be temporary chain link railings on the bridge through the winter. Sometime in the spring, the permanent railings will need to be installed, and the bridge will be closed for about one week then.
