Bridge update?

[James329]

I was going to start a thread with my displeasure with the pace at which the bridge is being completed earlier today, and then there was this little nugget in the promotion release...

"The pedestrian bridge over I-35E connecting Apogee with the Fouts parking lots is scheduled to be completed and open for this game."

Hopefully this is true. There's no excuse for it to not be ready.

That would be a pleasant surprise.

I think just by virtue of it being new you will get people wanting to walk across it and take pictures etc. It has to help.

Really good news. This will be a big help for our fans. Thanks go out for getting this project underway and completed to all who had a helping hand in doing so. Am sure there were plenty of frustrations along the way, but the end of construction and the grand opening is in sight, so many thanks. Just another completed project among the many very nice projects around the UNT campus these days.

I'll look forward to my first walk across that new bridge!

Is the Alumni association at least going to put a yard sign at the end of the bridge saying "this way to the Alumni pavilion"?

Don't need to...it's right there for all to see and the path splits with one part leading right to the front door of the Alumni Pavilion. Anyone who misses it really has ZERO excuse.

One can also see the big UNT ALUMNI PAVILION signage.....you know, the big green letters on the Pavilion. THAT signage.

Silver...do appreciate your support for both the Alumni Association and the Pavilion. Looking forward to seeing you there on game days....

I saw an NT police officer strolling across the bridge during the game last Saturday so it can't be that far off from being completed.

Now that I think about it, he may have been ensuring that no one tries to jump off it after the loss to Troy.
