Bridge Facilitating Sacramento Transport

bridgeA new bridge opened today in Sacramento that will likely seriously facilitate transportation options for the people of Sacramento. Following the completion of the bridge – that cost the state $13.5 million in construction fees – the Riverfront Reconnection Project will connect the Riverfront and Oldtown with Downtown Sacramento.

This will also be great for the opening of Golden One Center, as General Manager of Firehouse Restaurant Mario Artiz noted, it will “give Old Sacramento like a grand entrance if you will, not a back door or a side door.” Currently there are two entrances that are both awkward and hard to find; one requiring a trip down I Street past a parking lot and under Interstate 5 and the other via a turn off the Capitol Mall which is quite easy to miss.
