Luis Gutierrez Bridge “Walk to the West Side Event”

This Thursday, October 11 at 4pm, the Luis G. Gutierrez bridge at Cushing Street will open for the first time, to bicycles and pedestrians only. Located near the Riverpark Inn on the west side frontage road just south of Congress St, the bridge will be open next year to automobiles and will become a vital link in the 3.9-mile modern streetcar project, making it the first multi-modal bridge in Arizona.

During the opening on Thursday, mariachis will perform, an art tour of the bridge and Mission Gardens will be given, and walking and bike tours will be provided by Living Streets Alliance.
