Further augmenting its user-friendliness, the bridge includes a separate railing for pedestrian safety, special bump-out areas for scenic stops, and an attractive pedestrian plaza.

With a blend of functional design and aesthetic appeal, the bridge illuminates both its roadway and walkways, effortlessly connecting downtown to The Old Fort and neighboring areas.

Above all, the memorial symbolizes our profound respect for those who have served and continue to serve our nation. The project provided much needed accessible sidewalks that meet universal design criteria since Fort Wayne is gaining traction as an accessible destination (with Turnstone, Promenade Park, and AWS). The bridge was a unique effort and partnership between the City of Fort Wayne and the Indiana Department of Transportation.
