Sandy Springs to open new pedestrian bridge

Sandy Springs City Council members will soon cut the ribbon to open a new pedestrian bridge at Windsor Parkway over Nancy Creek.

The 83-foot-long, 26,000-pound bridge to the future Windsor Meadows Park will be officially opened at 3 p.m. June 5. Fabricated in Virginia and Colorado and delivered in two pieces, the span is made of weathered steel to give it a rusty finish.

The project, including landscaping and sidewalks, cost the city $385,000. The City Council last fall awarded a contract to Ed Castro Landscape to grade the site, construct the bridge foundation, and install the bridge, sidewalks, curbs and gutters.
