“Cross 13 railroad tracks using 1 bridge”
At 562 feet, this century-old footbridge is one of the country's longest! A complete restoration returned the footbridge to its original picturesque stature just in time for its 2002 Centennial Celebration. Bring your camera; you'll want to capture the double decker trains gliding by on 13 sets of tracks below, missing the footbridge by mere inches. Train watching from sturdy decking and eclectic shopping nearby attract visitors from all over the world. A historic marker at the base of the steps details the history of the area. Beautifully lit at night, locals refer to it as Springfield's largest (and coolest) public art sculpture.
Very nice little stroll across the bridge. Not a very long distance just the right amount that didn't wear out the kids.
The bridge is still closed!! Not worth the stop at all!
This bridge is closed and now in the hands of the people. We hope this will be restored to its original glory. A wonderful photo of it can be found here www.417art.com
This is closed right now. Not worth the stop if you can't walk across it.
