Bradenton Extending the Downtown Riverwalk, with a Major Expansion

Bradenton Extending the Downtown Riverwalk, with a Major Expansion

The new extension of the Bradenton Riverwalk will almost double the length of the pedestrian walkway along the Manatee River..

The Bradenton Riverwalk’s extension east towards the historic Old Manatee districtĀ will be on as the East Riverwalk. This project will extend the walkable pathĀ by about 1.25 miles. It is expected toĀ take about two years to completeĀ and cost about $7 million.

The construction for this expansion will be done in fourĀ different phases. It has already begun on the eastern-most portion of the project, withĀ renovations at Mineral Springs Park, the Riverside peninsula and construction of the first phase of the Riverwalk extension. The first segmentĀ includes a boardwalk that spans the distance of roughly two blocksĀ overĀ theĀ waters of the Manatee River from about 12th Street toĀ 14th Street.

Construction crews will also begin construction on the extension’s second and third phases before the first phase is finished. ThoseĀ phasesĀ include construction ofĀ two new portions of the Riverwalk onĀ Riverside Drive.

There will be a gap between those two Riverside Drive segments that will be connected by the project’s final segment to createĀ a continuous pedestrian pathway across the Riverwalk’s western and eastern halves.

The city of Bradenton isĀ also working with the Tarpon Pointe Marina to make it possible to connect the two halves of the RiverwalkĀ through 3rd Street,Ā instead of Manatee Avenue. This step, would allow pedestrians to stay as close to the shoreline as possible.
