The bridge was the governor’s idea to celebrate the state’s 150th anniversary. But it was panned by lawmakers, historic preservationists and, apparently, the public.
Alternative solution, block off the road to get ready for construction. Then realize it’s nice not having that road there, and get rid of it. Money saved and it’s nicer.
It was supposed to have info panels on it and the reason it’s so goofy is because that area is designated at a National Landmark so it was designed to comply with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for preservation.
I don’t mind the sentiment of linking the state with the city but yes, that bridge is a waste of money and only detracts from the space.
Not a single person would ever walk on that thing. It looks at least twice as long as the direct path.
