TRAIL BRIDGE FOOTERS
The Little Calumet River Trail is getting a bridge over Calumet Avenue, which will eliminate a major bottleneck for those riding to/from the Monon and Erie Lackawanna Trails.
This bridge will be parallel to the Bishop Ford and is now the second such structure that will eliminate user interaction with Calumet Avenue. In 2019, the bridge at 150th street (IIRC) was completed along the Erie Lackawanna Trail as well. Mayor Thomas "BIG MAC" McDermott himself presided over the maiden voyage!
...he wasn't the first to ride over it, however...barricades be damned!
