SPOKANE, Wash. — Downtown Spokane and the University District are once again connected on the Centennial Trail.

The Don Kardong Pedestrian Bridge reopened Friday morning.

The bridge closed last May so the wood decking could be replaced with concrete.

The rebuilt bridge now had ADA-accessible platforms, new guardrails, and lighting.

The city says it will hold a grand opening ceremony next spring, when it’s not 20 degrees outside.
