First Walk: The ceremonial opening of the Vancouver Land Bridge

August 1, 2008

The Vancouver Land Bridge, the second Confluence Project site, is now complete. Please help us celebrate with an inaugural walk across this beautiful earth-covered pedestrian bridge that arcs over State Route 14. We’ll start at historic Fort Vancouver and stroll south toward Old Apple Tree Park, taking in the view and the distinguished colleagues and public figures for a brief ceremony underscoring the link between the sparkling Columbia River and the people of this region.
