Walking up the ramp was pretty easy. It's long enough that it's not a very steep climb. I asked a bike rider at the top what he thought of the climb up and he said it wasn't bad at all, not as bad as the new bridge down by the canals. I'll have to agree with him on that. Even driving over that bridge in a car it seems like you're going straight up!
It was a hot day with the sun shining brightly, but there was a nice breeze at the top. I would think there would always be a good breeze up there.
It really gave you a good view of the surrounding area. There was a real good view of downtown. What a great place to stand and watch the Steamboat Races or Thunder Over Louisville!
This was the view look up the bridge. I can see they'll have to pull up a lot of old wood.
We had a nice time there. It was kinda neat. During Mayor Fischer's speech he mentioned that upon completion of this project, with the view of the setting sun, it just might be the most romantic spot in Louisville. And that he could foresee many proposals of marriage taking place on the bridge. Well, I took advantage of the opportunity and gave Mary Lynn a big kiss! So, in future generations, as this bridge becomes a romantic draw, let it be known that Bob and Mary Lynn were the first to kiss on the bridge!

I didn't know this was opening. I'm looking forward to them finishing it.
Well, it's not opening. It was only open for the ceremony. It will be closed until completion in about 18 months. That's one reason we took advantage of the day so that we could go up the ramp to the top.
This is a wonderful idea and I'm glad it's underway! I think you both should be in the paper for being the first kissers there. Frankfort has a 'singing bridge.' This can be Louisville's 'kissing bridge.'
