INDIANAPOLIS — After a long wait, Ellenberger Park on the city's east side is getting a new bridge. Neighbors say it'll make their community safer and more accessible.The bridge was an Irvington neighborhood staple but it closed in 2022 due to safety concerns. 'The community was really coming together to figure out how do we get a replacement for the bridge,' said Andy Nielsen, City-County councilor for District 14.
'Nielsen says after long conversations with Indy Parks and the Department of Public Works, there's now a clear timeline for the bridge's return.He says the community has tirelessly advocated for the upgrade.'It's being funded and pulled into a Pleasant Run Rehabilitation Project and cost savings from that project will help pay for the brand new bridge,' said Nielsen.
