BRIDGE WALK: Memphis & Arkansas Bridge (You will see the Harahan from this bridge but will not actually be on it since it is closed)
Meet at Crump Park, Exit 12C on Metal Museum Drive

Hear from Historian Jimmy Ogle as he takes you on a fascinating history while walking across the bridge. In his words:

The BRIDGE WALK series began in 2012 when plans were announced for the Harahan Greenline on the northernmost of the three lower bridges (Harahan Bridge) were announced. Fast forward to 2015, funding and many approvals have been secured, along with a new name BIG RIVER CROSSING. I called it the power of "2-2-2", as 2 cities, 2 counties and 2 states are cooperating on one big project with the federal government, and very importantly, the Union Pacific Railroad. The two-line railroad portion of the Harahan Bridge opened in 1916, and the automobile decks (cantilevered supports with wooden plank road surfaces overhanging the north and south sides for east and west bound traffic) opened in 1917, across the new "Broadway of America" stretching from San Diego, California to New York City (Highway 70, one of the first paved and signed highways to open across America in the 1920s).

They will assemble at the big Magnolia tree in the center of Crump Park (Exit 12C, Crump Park), just south of the Super 8 Motel.
