And So It Begins!

Manchester Riverwalk's proposed bridge across the Batternkill

We want to express our heartfelt gratitude for the generous support of the donors to the new pedestrian bridge in Manchester. Their contributions have been instrumental in bringing this project to life, creating a safe and beautiful connection for our community.

We are truly inspired by your commitment to improving our town and grateful for your belief in this vision. Thanks to you and our other supporters, we have turned this shared dream into a reality. 

Manchester Riverwalk has been raising the funds needed for the bridge since 2018. A recognition marble stone will grace the entrance to the bridge recognizing donors who cumulatively gave $1,000 or more and businesses who gave $10,000 or more.

Work has begun on the south side to pour our first abutment! The northern abutment will have pilings installed before we can set a cement form to hold the bridge.

We plan to share photos with you here as things progress but you are assured more and better updates on our Facebook page. (https://www.facebook.com/ManchesterRiverwalk)
