BENTONVILLE -- A bike and pedestrian bridge on Northeast A Street is now open to the public, according to a news release from the city.

The bridge is meant to provide improved access to the Razorback Greenway and All-American trails near the future Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art expansion, the release said.

Trail features include a two-lane, bike and pedestrian bridge with two designated sides, according to the release. One is for the Razorback Greenway multiuse trail and the other is for the All-American Mountain Bike Trail. The sides are separated for user safety.
