DAPHNE, Ala. ( WKRG ) — Daphne has new infrastructure in the works.
A new bridge has been added in Lake Forest as a part of the city’s annual sidewalk projects.
After recognizing that Ridgewood still needed a crossing, the city council said something needed to be done. Daphne recently revealed a new pedestrian bridge to help with walkability in Lake Forest.
“Really, it just comes to where you get to an impasse and you go, ‘OK, how do we make this crossing?’ You know we have a sidewalk on both ends of this goal to where you can’t get through,” Daphne Mayor Robin LeJeune said “And you don’t have a way of putting the sidewalk on the road. So of course you have to build a bridge.”
The project cost about $650,000 project and took six months to build. The bridge connects County Road 13 to North Main Street.
The newly implemented has a great few of the Tiaswasee Creek.
