According to the plans, it would be along the right side of the bridge, heading toward downtown Norfolk. It's across from Willow Wood Drive.

A rendering shows a lit walkway, signage, picnic tables, benches and a bike rack. The bridge would be made of wood or a composite material.

The plans show a cost of $1.28 million; a contractor for the project has not yet been announced.

The city is holding a community meeting about the project on July 9 at 6 p.m. at the Norview Community Center on Sewells Point Road.
