Officials released a sneak peek at a proposed pedestrian bridge for the Atlanta Falcons' new Mercedes-Benz stadium this week.
The planned bridge, which will stretch from the Vine City MARTA station over Northside Drive to the stadium, is part of the city’s efforts to increase walkability and reduce traffic.
Public Works Commissioner Richard Mendoza said city officials are now soliciting bids from companies to complete detailed engineering plans for the bridge, which is expected to break ground next summer and open in mid-2017.
