This pedestrian bridge crosses the Christiana creek in Rittenhouse Park, in Newark, DE. This is a relatively narrow bridge, and although the frame feels sturdily constructed, the wooden boards feel slightly loose, and there is quite a lot of space around the railings, making it feel somewhat precarious to walk across. The bridge is quite useful, not so much for connecting the town of Newark for pedestrians, but just because it makes a greater portion of the park accessible.
