New Augusta Pedestrian Bridge To Open In Time For Masters

I checked out the 5th Street Bridge project today...... I couldn't  actually walk on the bridge as it is still a construction zone and they frown on things like that, but I got close enough to give y'all a few pictures.

They're painting the sides of the bridge now and about ready to paint the deck.

Some people are calling it the "bridge to nowhere", because it leads to nothing on the North Augusta side and I hear the city of North Augusta has other projects to complete before they think of the 5th Street Bridge project.

It would be nice to connect the bridge to the North Augusta Greeneway at some point. Below are some pictures of the pedestrian bridge.  Enjoy!
