the wait is finally over.

after eagerly watching the construction progress over the past 9 months, the bridge is officially open as of this morning (12/30)!!!

my daily commutes up and down the north shore channel trail have been forever improved.

the middle 6 miles of my 8 mile commute are actually entirely off-street now.

what an excellent belated christmas present!



the bridge is nice, a big and beefy cor-ten steel bow-truss span with asphalt road deck.

it's nice and wide with separate, marked bike & pedestrian lanes.

all-in-all, a nice bit of bike infrastructure that looks built to last.
