What is the Town Street Prow and Plaza?
Technically part of the former Town Street Bridge, the Town Street Prow is very much like the prow on a ship. It’s an overlook that creates a focal point along the Promenade. The 90-year-old Town Street Bridge over the Scioto River closed in July 2008. In order to preserve this historic landmark in Columbus, the Scioto Mile will include the Town Street Prow at the site of the former eastern entrance to the Town Street Bridge. The Prow’s new function will be to serve as the terminus to Town Street’s green gateway to the Scioto Mile, accented by gardens, decorative lighting and stone benches.
