New Broadway Bridge to add bicycle lanes

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV)- The new Broadway bridge is adding a sixteen foot wide lane for bikers and pedestrians.

The bike lane starts at the Arkansas River trail on both sides of the bridge.

The new protected lane gives bikers and runners an easier way to get to the downtown area, it's also another way to cross the river from Little Rock to Dickey Stephens park.

Everett Gooch, manager at Bobby's bike hike tours, is positive it will bring in more customers, "an infrastructure like that just get's more people out riding maybe commuting to work, cruising to dinner, or stopping by one of our breweries that have bike racks."

By moving here we've invested in our future. Not only for our kids right now but for where we'll hopefully end up retiring. You're investing in a lifestyle and it's a lifestyle you can't get in any other part of Little Rock or North Little Rock.

Mat Seelinger

There’s so much to do here. Whether we’re on the water, whether we’re on our bikes, whether we’re walking…there’s so much to do. We never find ourselves thinking about what we’re going to do next.

Katie Clifford

When I saw the opportunity to live downtown and still live near the water I couldn’t pass it up. I love being near the water for the view and the relaxing atmosphere.

Melissa Martin

We love our porch and the space we've created on our porch. We have our neighbors over often and we watch the sunset every night.

Dr. James Yuen

I moved to Rockwater because of the scenery, to live right on the water, and the ability to open your front door and be right on the Arkansas River Trail. There is no other place like that in Little Rock or North Little Rock- or even the whole state.

Brad Martin

I really didn't used to bike much. It's really great to be able to wake up and ride for half hour or 45 minutes before work. That was unthinkable before we moved here.

Regina Seelinger

Since we’ve moved to Rockwater, we tend to stay outside a lot more often. We bought a new TV for our new home and we hardly watch it.
