Minto Island Bicycle and Pedestrian Bridge and Trail - Salem, OregonThe City of Salem and Salem’s Urban Renewal Agency have been working toward a community vision of connecting three major urban parks, and more than twenty miles of trails via two pedestrian bridges over the Willamette River. Part of this goal was realized with the renovation of the historic Union Street Railroad Bridge, connecting West Salem’s Wallace Marine Park with downtown’s Riverfront Park. Completion of the Minto Island Bicycle and Pedestrian Bridge and adjoining multimodal trail is the last critical link.For the design and permitting, the City of Salem hired OBEC Consulting Engineers, with GreenWorks, to complete the bridge design, perform needed studies, and apply for permits. The detailed design work will include services that integrate context appropriate, safe infrastructure for pedestrians, bicycles and other trail users.Contact:UPDATE 03-10-14 (ACB):Minto Island Bike and Pedestrian Bridge - Salem, ORThe City of Salem and Salem’s Urban Renewal Agency have been working toward a community vision to connect three major urban parks and more than twenty miles of trails via two pedestrian bridges over the Willamette River.
