JOST Bicycle & Pedestrian Bridge is Open
On August 11th, hundreds of cyclists, walkers, and four-legged companions crossed the I-5 Freeway as the new Jeffrey Open Space Trail (JOST) Bicycle & Pedestrian Bridge officially opened.
The 15-foot-wide, 1,200-foot-long bridge is Irvine’s largest pedestrian bridge, connecting the Jeffrey Road Park & Ride Lot with Walnut Avenue and closing a major gap in the City’s trail network.
Made possible in part by $14.5 million in state funding, the bridge represents another step toward Irvine’s vision of an interconnected trail system that could eventually stretch from the Pacific Ocean to the Santa Ana Mountains and Cleveland National Forest.
