The Walnut Street Bridge should reopen Friday, a city official says.
Eric Booker, project coordinator for the city’s Department of Public Works, offered the timetable today during the Chattanooga City Council’s Public Works Committee meeting.
He said contractors will continue replacing old wooden rails along the bridge’s sidewalks over the next several months, but the public will able to access the bridge during that time.
The city has been repairing and updating the bridge since last December.
