Big River Crossing
The longest public pedestrian and bike bridge on the Mississippi River, allowing you to walk from Tennessee to Arkansas.
Opened in 2016 beside the Harahan railroad bridge, the crossing is about 1.6 km long. From the bridge you can see freight trains passing up close and the city skyline. After nightfall the bridge's LED lights put on a show, echoing the “bright light” effects of the Hernando de Soto Bridge to the north. It is free, and the entrance is in the Big River Park near South Main Street.
