North Ave Dam Pedestrian Bridge
The North Avenue Dam Bridge is situated on the remnants of the North Avenue Dam, which was removed in 1997 to improve water quality in the Milwaukee River.
History
The $1.3 million bridge spans 350 feet, connecting the lower east side to the Riverwest neighborhood.
The pedestrian bridge, which officially opened on Dec. 15, 2004, serves as a link to Milwaukee County recreation trails, the
stone stairs in Caesars Park and bike lanes and sidewalks along Commerce Street.
