OGLETHORPE BRIDGE

EXISTING: Oglethorpe Bridge connects southern Columbus with Phenix City. This bridge is slated for replacement over the next few years.

PROPOSED: Incorporating a protected multiuse trail along the new bridge could create an important new link between the Columbus and Phenix City trail networks.

Proposed

Trail Extension

EXISTING: This photo shows the exit ramp onto Broad Street Extension from Highway 280. This image illustrates conditions just across the Oglethorpe Bridge over the Chattahoochee, crossing into Alabama. There is currently no safe way for bicycles or pedestrians to cross the river in this area.

PROPOSED: This rendering shows a proposed multi-use trail extension along Broad Street. From this point, the trail could run alongside Highway 280, linking Columbus and Phenix City with a new alternative transportation route.
