Liberty Bridge — Attraction in Greenville

If ever near Greenville, SC, definitely stop by and see the Liberty Bridge and Park! Located in the downtown, it is bisected by a wooded valley park containing the falls of the Reedy River. The bridge and park are located just downstream from this group of waterfalls, replacing a six-lane highway bridge that was demolished to improve the visibility and accessibility to the falls and adjacent park.

The bridge has a curved clear span over the river that curves away from the falls, providing visitors with an aerial amphitheater from which to view the cascading water. The link gently slopes into the ravine and is supported by twin inclined towers and a single suspension cable with thin cable suspenders only on the side away from the falls, allowing for unobstructed views.

The bridge, with a total length of approximately 345 ft. and a clear span of 200 ft. , appears to float over the landscape. The twin towers and suspension cable are visible from vantage points around the city, calling attention and drawing visitors to the public park, falls and river.

Artisphere and Fall for Greenville brought in more day and night life than I've seen anywhere. Barleys and the Mellow Mushroom were special weekly hotspots and who could ever pass up $2 Tuesdays at Tsunami's? This will always be a place of love, life,...
