Gadsden receives $690K for new pedestrian bridge over Coosa River
Reading time: 1 minute
The planned pedestrian bridge across the Coosa River in Etowah County received good news earlier this month, securing funds for the initial phases of the project. The City of Gadsden announced it has received a $690,000 grant from Innovate Alabama to the engineering + design of the new pedestrian bridge.
With Gadsden’s planned addition of a hotel on the downtown side of the river, the pedestrian bridge will also provide a critical link to The Venue at Coosa Landing, one of Northeast Alabama’s premiere meeting spaces and conference centers. The $690,000 grant is expecting to cover the majority of the cost for the engineering, design + surveying phases. There is currently no estimate for the construction cost.
