Girdwood's New Suspension Bridge: A Safer Trail Crossing

Girdwood, Alaska, is replacing its Winner Creek Trail hand tram with a new suspension bridge and interpretive center, following two serious accidents that led to its indefinite closure in 2019. The project, which aims to connect Seward to Fairbanks and the Iditarod Trail system, has secured $1.7 million in grants and is expected to begin construction next summer. The new bridge will also serve as an interpretive center, sharing stories from the areas gold mining past and its transition to tourism. DNN | The Daily News Now!
