Wow – that’s just a pedestrian and bike bridge? No cars? That’s amazing.

XUP — It’s pretty neat. We didn’t even know about it until just after it was completed. It’s a little over an hour away from us, so we’ve only been across it three times now.

Carla — it certainly is neat and, since it is new, it meets the Americans with Disabilities Act requirements. It goes high over the river, but the slope isn’t too bad.
