Open to unrestricted use until May 2025. It's very special for e-bikes. Ladies should bring a sturdy rack. It's a tight squeeze for wide handlebars. Access is more like a disastrous farm track than a "bike path." Have fun on your tours!

Bridge open again. Pretty difficult to get big wheels over. But it works.

Currently closed to pedestrians until May 2023 for renovation. I'm guessing it will take a few more months
