Bentonville, AR……. The highly anticipated mountain bike and pedestrian bridge on NE A Street is open for public use. As a result of the multi-modal elevated bridge project completion, Bentonville residents and visitors are the beneficiaries of improved access to the Razorback Greenway and All-American trails near the future Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art expansion. Trail features include a unique two lane, bike/pedestrian bridge that extends over NE A Street with two designated sides. One is for the Razorback Greenway multi-use trail and the other is for the All-American Mountain Bike Trail that safely separates each user group. The 1053-foot-long Greenway extension, with nearly 1000 feet completely on piers, creates an exceptional trail experience woven through the existing tree canopy.
Crossland Construction served as the contractor for the project. The City of Bentonville formally accepted the flyover bridge, noting that Bentonville Parks and Recreation will be responsible for upkeep and maintenance. Improved trail access, trail extension, and the new bike/pedestrian bridge were made possible through the generous support from members of the Walton family.
The public is cordially invited to a 5:00pm ribbon-cutting celebration on Wednesday, May 8, to mark the official opening of the flyover bridge.
