Yes, but people will actually use the bridge. Ha!
And actually, the writer for the article got it wrong. The bridge extension is actually around 375 feet long. The entire bridge, including the section that was built 10 years ago, is 990 feet long. Also the construction included more than just the bridge extension itself. It needed an embankment to support it, and also has new landscaping and sidewalks around it.
I went to go take photos of the new extension and also the views from it. It had only been open a week at that point and was already being used by a lot of people. I almost got clipped a few times by bicycles on the bridge and there were plenty of pedestrians even after dark when it started to get cold.
I'm convinced that it's money well spent.
