The new bridge on the Upper Tampa Bay Trail is officially open! 🥳 We opened the new Rocky Creek Bridge on the Upper Tampa Bay Trail to the public this week. The new bridge replaces a more than 100-year-old bridge that connected the trail. The Wilsky Trailhead will also reopen, helping trail users access the 7.5-mile section of the multi-use pathway. Whether you’re walking, biking, or rollerblading, come try out the new bridge for yourself! 🚲
