Tulsa's Pedestrian Bridge connects the east and west banks of the Arkansas River.
Interior of Pedestrian Bridge from east looking west.
The former Midland Valley Railroad trestle crossing the Arkansas just south of the 21st Street bridge was builtt in 1930 and was converted to a pedestrian bridge in 1976. This allows foot and bicycle traffic to cross to running and bicycling paths on both sides of the river. Wading in the river channel is allowed, but fishing piers on the south face of the Pedestrian Bridge offer a safe location during high water flows in the river. The river yields catfish and carp but others try their hand at the striped bass which have been introduced into the Arkansas River.

I have always wanted to have a chevron design on my floor.
Bill... I have the feeling that some day in the future these bridges will be converted back to railway use. I enjoyed viewing your photos. Thanks Santa.
I love the pedestrian bridges
Have a great Sunday :)
Great post. There are a few of us who still remember when that was a railroad trestle.
What a great bridge to cross on foot...
