Just past the chairs… there it is: Shem Creek’s ‘other bridge’: the Jones Creek bridge and its walkway that will be getting a major overhaul these next few months leading up to Shem Creek Park opening.

Here’s a few photos I’ve taken of it recently; it branches off Shem Creek between Vickery’s and what will soon be a popular destination: that tiny outlook at the end of our new Shem Creek walkway. So enjoy them now, because things are a-changin!
