Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

The Spruce Street Suspension Bridge is a local favorite pedestrian suspension bridge located within the city's Bankers Hill neighborhood. The bridge was designed in 1912 by Edwin Capps and intended to connect the city's new Fourth and Fifth Avenue trolley lines, traversing the Sessions Canyon that was previously inaccessible to foot travel. Today, the bridge provides stunning views of the canyon from 70 feet in the air, spanning a length of 375 feet. As one of the city's most romantic hidden spots, it is a favorite off-the-beaten-path attraction for locals and tourists alike. It is accessible from Spruce Street near First Avenue, with free street parking available throughout the residential neighborhood. Visitors should note that the bridge can swing slightly during times of high wind or rainy weather conditions.
