Bruce Vento Pedestrian and Bicycle Bridge – In Sweed Hollow.
Bruce Vento, a man with great vision, this bridge anchors the historic East Side with Saint Paul and the mighty Mississippi. This project is about providing a bicycle and pedestrian connection between two major trails and the Bruce Vento Nature Sanctuary. It requires bridging over four lanes of Warner Road and over 200 feet of railroad Right-of-way. The importance of the connection as well as recognition of the obstacles limiting access for St. Paul’s Eastside community led to the allocation of Federal funds for design and preliminary engineering of a bridge to complete the connection.
