Bridge Over Troubled Water?

In an abundance of caution:

According to a news release, the annual parade, which was scheduled for Saturday, is canceled due to the state’s recommendations.

The Dublin Link Bridge, scheduled to open Friday, will be postponed. The city said the bridge will open at a later date to be determined.

That has to cost a fortune for a pedestrian bridge.

Yes, it is the world's largest pedestrian/bike S-suspension towered bridge over the Scioto River at a cost of $22.6 million dollars.

area. This summer we are going on an over-nighter in Columbus. I will have to bring it up to our leader sounds like a great trail. There is an auto bridge on the back channel of the Ohio River that has been condemned. We can't even get it replaced for a bike trail.
