The much anticipated Airport Parkway Bridge officially opened on Saturday, creating a safe pedestrian and cycling link between communities on either side of the busy parkway. It also now provides cyclists easy access to the Sawmill Creek Pathway and a fine bike commute towards downtown.
The blue line on the map below is the route my friend Peter and I followed to get to the bridge starting from the Arboretum. It includes a recently added stretch along the Sawmill Creek Pathway, described in more detail here. Green line is how we got back. The red bit is the bridge.
Here’s a video of what it’s like heading east over the bridge.

Excellent video! Love the way the cables come towards the camera. Very cool sky too!
And, you got to experience it first hand! Thanks for coming along for the ride.
Fabulous new bridge. Love the curves to it and from it.
