New Braves Bridge Design Set to be Approved Tuesday Night

The bridge will cost just under $10 million.

The final design for the new Braves bridge over I-285 is set to be approved Tuesday night.

The bridge is estimated to cost about $10 million, reports WSB Radio. The bridge will connect the Cobb Galleria with the new SunTrust Park.

Plans are for the bridge to be ready by Opening Day 2017. But the Cobb-Marietta Coliseum & Exhibit Hall Authority still must grant permission for the bridge to be accessed through the Cobb Galleria Centre and Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre.
