A pedestrian bridge that harkens back a hundred years just got a much-needed facelift as part of Historic Arkansas Riverwalk winter upgrades along the river channel at Pueblo s Union Avenue.
“That particular bridge was built and installed back in 2000 when the riverwalk was built, so it is 21 years old already and it was really in need of the repairs we did make,” said Daisy Jensen, operations manager for the riverwalk authority. “The bridge has a striking resemblance to the types and styles that used to span across the Arkansas River before the (1921) flood. There used to be a bridge that spanned across Union that has a lot of the same characteristics as that bridge,” Jensen said.
