Spring Street Bridge
Completed July 2014
| | Spring Street | |
The Spring Street Bridge is a civic gateway welcoming motorists arriving in downtown Columbus from the north and connecting the King-Lincoln arts and entertainment district with the downtown Discovery District. Rebuilt in 2014, the Spring Street Bridge includes architectural and streetscape features that welcome visitors, reflect the neighborhood character, and encourage pedestrian and bike use. Streetscape enhancements continue on the adjacent urban avenues for continuity, including Elijah Pierce Avenue, names after a famous folk artist originally from the nearby King-Lincoln area. The Ohio Department of Transportation, the City of Columbus, the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission, and the surrounding neighborhoods partnered to create this bridge.
