Exciting changes are just around the corner for residents and visitors as the long-anticipated renovations for the iconic Walnut Street Bridge are set to commence. The pre-renovation setup will kick off on Monday, February 17th, paving the way for much-needed updates and improvements to the beloved structure.

While preparations get underway, the bridge will remain open to the public until Monday, March 17th, allowing for continued access during the initial phase of the renovation project. City officials encourage commuters and pedestrians to utilize the Walnut Street Bridge during this time but advise caution as construction activities will begin ramping up shortly.

To keep the community informed and up-to-date on any changes, detour options, and other relevant information, the city is urging users to download the newly launched Walnut Street Bridge App. The app will provide real-time notifications, updates on the progress of the renovations, and alternative routes for those who may need to navigate around detours when construction officially begins later next month.

The renovations aim to enhance the bridge’s structural integrity, improve accessibility features, and refresh its aesthetics, ensuring that it remains a safe and inviting crossing for years to come.

As the project progresses, further updates will be shared through the app and local news outlets, ensuring that everyone remains well-informed about the renovation timeline and expected impacts on traffic and pedestrian access.

Stay tuned for ongoing updates on the work toward a revitalized Walnut Street Bridge!
