Ronald Kirk Bridge, Pedestrian bridge in Downtown Dallas, US
The Ronald Kirk Bridge spans 2105 feet across the Trinity River, connecting Downtown Dallas to West Dallas with dedicated lanes for pedestrians and cyclists.
Originally constructed as the Lamar-McKinney Viaduct in 1933, the structure helped residents cross the Trinity River during periodic flooding that affected the surrounding areas.
The bridge received its current name in 2016 to honor Ronald Kirk, the first African-American mayor of Dallas who served as U.S. Trade Representative.
Visitors can access the bridge daily to enjoy walking paths, chess boards, lounge chairs, and a splash park while connecting to Trinity Groves entertainment district.
The structure transformed from a vehicular crossing into a pedestrian space in 2014, following the completion of the adjacent Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge.
