New Pedestrian Bridge To Be Installed At Centennial Park

ELLICOTT CITY, MD — Construction will begin this spring to replace the pedestrian bridge located along the pathway loop in Centennial Park's west area. The new bridge will measure eight by 127 feet and made from galvanized steel. Weather permitting, it will be completed by late spring.

The bridge site will be closed for the duration of the project and park users will be redirected around the area. Barrier walls have been installed along the northbound shoulder of Centennial Lane to separate and protect visitors from passing traffic, and to take visitors around the site so they may continue walking the lake loop.

Centennial Park is a 337-acre public park that features a spectacular 54-acre man-made lake, more than seven miles of interconnected paved pathways and is home to a variety of wildlife, such as white-tailed deer, beavers, foxes, turtles, herons and many other bird species.
