Will this be open to pedestrians after it is open to motor traffic?
How exciting to witness such an event! I hope that more people will walk or bike rather than drive across the bridge. I noticed in the Herald article that Mr. Salazar drove rather than walked across after the ceremonial ribbon cutting.
Good questions: There isn't a bike lane per se, but the shoulder did appear to be wider than normal. Secretary Salazar was honored with the ceremonial "first drive" over the new bridge -- but it won't be open to regular traffic for another few weeks. Attendees were given the opportunity of walking to the tent across the entire one-mile length of the bridge. It was a good day.
