May 2026 Progress Update

We've come a long way since our cherished bridge closed, and now summer and the home stretch are upon us. Despite the fact that this year's Iron Man course did not incorporate the Walnut Street Bridge, many competitors and event fans expressed their excitement for the opening.

This month, we're still getting rid of the old wood in spans 1 and 2 and replacing the sidewalk and decking. Additionally, we are on track to remove laydown sites, work platforms, and prep park grounds for repairs and landscaping. Benches, flower pots, and signage will soon be replaced, and the bridge will begin to resemble her magnificent self.

We appreciate all of your patience, support, retweets, and reposts. The countdown has begun!
