After roughly a decade of planning, delays and construction, the King-Liberty Pedestrian/Cycle Bridge is at long last open to the public. The highly-anticipated bridge over the Metrolinx Kitchener/Milton Rail Corridor opened partially on April 19, with just pedestrian access via stairs available as of yet, but Liberty Village residents are already putting it to good use. Access to the King/Liberty Bridge is currently only available via stairwell. The new stainless steel bridge, which is part of the council-approved 2018 Capital Works Program, provides a convenient and more direct route from Liberty Village to King Street West between Atlantic Avenue and Strachan Avenue, spanning all the way from Douro Street to the western leg of Western Battery Road.
