Pedestrians, bicyclists get first safe crossing between north, south OKC

For the first time in Oklahoma City history, pedestrians and bicyclists can safely cross the Oklahoma River without risking getting hit by passing traffic.

The first of three pedestrian bridges connecting north and south Oklahoma opened to the public on Monday on a perfect morning weather wise and with sweeping views of OKANA resort on the south shore of the river, Riversport Adventures on the north shore and the downtown skyline in the foreground.
