If you use the Scioto Trail, you will be excited to hear that construction on the 420-foot pedestrian bridge along the Souder Trail in Franklinton is advancing! The Franklinton/Souder Avenue project is shaping a transformative landscape, introducing a new pedestrian bridge over the Scioto River and an adjoining trail along Souder Avenue to West Broad Street. The bridge will allow residents and professionals to reach downtown and the Arena District within minutes. It will improve the experience for people attending events and participating in races and walks in the area, ensuring a safe crossing of the Scioto River. The new beams for the bridge were set at the end of 2023, and the bridge is expected to open this July.
