A new bridge in Dublin will be opened, with a celebration to makr the occasion

Dublin has been developing on both sides of the Scioto River, and now a bridge that has been dreamed of for years it about to become a reality. The pedestrian bridge will stretch between two landings, representing inclusivity and connectivity. Physically, the new bridge will connect the popular historic district of Dublin with the yet-to-be-constructed Riverside Crossing Park. The bridge also gives pedestrians access to Bridge Park, a lively mixed-use development.

The bridge dedication will come as part of a three-day festival in Dublin. The State of the City address will be given during this time, and the fun culminates with the St. Patrick's Day Parade. Dublin is named after the capital of Ireland, and in keeping with its Irish heritage, works hard to make its parade one of the biggest in the country. It is calling this year's effort the “Greenest, Grandest, St. Patrick's Day Parade” and experts believe 20,000 people will turn out to watch.

The bridge opening is set for March 13, from 7:00 pm until 11:00 pm. The address is on March 12, and the parade follows on March 14. The bridge celebration is at the western landing of the span, the West Plaza, at 90 North High Street. Banner printing could be used to create perfect decorations for a structure like this.
