The recent improvements to the Arkansas River Trail between East 11th Street to East 71st Street include 2 handsome bridges. This one carries pedestrians and bicycles over the drainage channel at East 61st Street, Another nearly identical bridge crosses Crow Creek where it empties into the Arkansas River just south of East 31st Street. The hardy gentleman braving 104F heat was wisely drinking lots of water.

A quiet and peaceful photo. The bridge just invites one to a tour of pure enjoyment.
ReplyDeleteHow does one walk in the 100s, never mind cycling?
ReplyDeleteI love the style of this bridge.

That's a neat photo of neat little bridge. The temperatures are about the same in my area. I try to do my walking early in the morning.
ReplyDeleteThis bridge design has become extremely popular for short span pedestrian and bike use. They are attractive.
ReplyDeleteThe cyclist may be wise to drink water, but I have to question his decision to be out in 104 degree heat in the first place.
It's gonna be hot here again to day, but only 88 and humid. Not 3 digits. Whew!
ReplyDeleteI really like the new trails and bridges. Hard to believe that runners, walkers, cyclists all shared a narrow strip of asphalt not too long ago.
ReplyDeleteIt IS a handsome bridge, but with similar temps here, you wouldn't see me bicycling over it.
ReplyDeleteI have always loved Tulsa... I grew up close to there, and look forward to getting back there, someday.
