There are two new possible footbridges proposed for spanning the Deschutes River in Bend. The two proposed bridges are located close to each other but differ in about $20,000 in price. Both are located near First STreet Rapids, which is a popular destination among kayakers.
The Bend Parks and Recreation Board will be making a decision tonight on where the bridge will be located. If the less expensive bridge is voted on to be built, construction could begin as early as this summer.
This means that the Bend River Trail will be complete, once this bridge is completed.
