Putting the “Bridge” in the Bridge Street District

  • March 10, 2020

The Dublin Link Bridge opening planned for Friday, March 13, will be postponed. We anticipate the bridge to be a significant Dublin attraction. The City will open the bridge at a later date to be determined.

The 760-foot long “S” curve bridge will open after three years of construction. It is the longest span single tower S-shaped suspension bridge in the world.

A pedestrian bridge linking the east and west sides of the Scioto River has been envisioned for decades. This landmark between two landings represents connectivity and inclusivity. It physically connects Dublin’s beloved historic district with the future Riverside Crossing Park and the thriving Bridge Park mixed-use development.

Bridge Park is part of the larger Bridge Street District, which is an area undergoing vast redevelopment as part of public and private investments. The walkable district is thriving with new options for housing, entertainment, dining and retail. In addition, this suburban-urban neighborhood features prime office and event space, an AC Marriott Hotel with rooftop restaurant/bar, along with an abundance of convenient parking in free public garages.

The Dublin Link will further bolster this thriving district by adding a convenient connection between the commercial, residential and retail destinations on both sides of the Scioto River. With the west landing in the heart of Historic Dublin and the east landing in the future Riverside Crossing Park, the bridge will serve as an iconic City of Dublin landmark – representing connectivity and inclusivity.

Choices in housing, dining, and shopping along with riverfront parks, a new library and gathering spaces are fueling a vibrancy and creating connectivity.
