The $122 million bridge project not only aims to improve vehicular traffic flow but also significantly enhances the maritime experience. Once reopened, the bridge will feature an additional 17 feet of clearance, benefiting boaters navigating the channel. This improvement aligns with local interests as many diners desire access to waterfront restaurants.
Additionally, the introduction of a new riverwalk designed to connect popular eateries like 1000 North and UTC promises to create an inviting atmosphere for locals and tourists alike. This revitalized space is generating excitement among restaurant owners who see it as a potential hotspot for gathering.
