Reviewed 2026-10-22. MDOT specifically identifies the reconstructed bridge’s wall-separated bicycle/pedestrian facility. Regional trail partner lists the public bridge route and map. This short selection does not include ordinary highway approaches or imply a flat waterfront course; postpone for strong winds, storms or maintenance barriers. This is a source review, not a same-day inspection. Recheck the linked manager before travel.
Map and Directions
Use the named public start and its posted parking signs. The map reference identifies the facility or selected trail area; it is not a surveyed parking stall or navigable route line. Bicycle and e-bike rules can differ; only ordinary bicycle use is established unless noted.
