Don't forget lunch in Old Sacramento's historic favorites, then visit the exciting new art galleries, design studios, jewelry stores, and pop in for a little wine tasting!.

Walkers, runners, bicyclists and riders, are invited to join Sacramento River Cats players and mascot Dinger in crossing the Tower Bridge at the “Tower Bridge Tribute and Toast to Tomorrow” event. The Cities of Sacramento and West Sacramento, will host a joint event, to be held Saturday, April 12, from 1-2 p.m., celebrating early completion of the Tower Bridge Pedestrian/Bikeway Improvements Project.

During the event, the public will have the opportunity to fully explore the Tower Bridge improvements while the bridge is closed to automobile traffic. Motorists should note that the bridge will be closed from Noon - 2:30 p.m. for set-up and clean-up after the event.

The Tower Bridge serves as a critical access point into
both downtown Sacramento to the bustling businesses and entertainment venues; and West Sacramento with access to Raley Field for baseball games, summer concerts and special events. The improved pedestrian access provides enhanced connectivity and safety for recreation along the waterfront in Old Sacramento and River Walk Park. The new and improved bridge also serves as the backdrop for the exciting riverfront development of tomorrow.

Opened in 1935, the Tower Bridge has served as a historic gateway joining the two communities. In 2007, the sidewalks were widened from 3 feet to almost 10 feet. The construction of this project coincides with new business and housing developments planned along the waterfronts. The Tower Bridge Pedestrian/Bikeway Improvements project was a joint project between the cities of Sacramento and West Sacramento in partnership with the bridge owner, Caltrans.
