Why is a pedestrian bridge being built across Main Street?
In April 2008, Salt Lake City officials approved overall plans for the City Creek project, which include a pedestrian bridge over Main Street. In March 2010, the steel framework for the bridge was lifted into place by two large cranes in a complex, carefully engineered tandem lift. It is critical to success of the retail center that the pedestrian bridge creates continuity on the upper and lower levels. The design of the bridge is sensitive to the aesthetics of downtown and the surrounding environment.
