An ultra-popular hiking trail in Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park has finally reopened after one of its wooden bridges was destroyed by a winter storm in 2023, California State Parks announced. Pfeiffer Falls Trail, a short, 0.75-mile trail through a redwood forest that leads to a 60-foot waterfall, has reopened after lengthy repairs were made to its pedestrian bridge, California State Parks wrote in a press release Monday.

A delayed pedestrian bridge reconstruction project in Bath Beach, Brooklyn, is drawing mounting frustration from residents and community leaders who say the prolonged closure has severed a vital connection to the neighborhood's waterfront. The old 17th Avenue pedestrian bridge once spanned the Belt Parkway, linking Bath Beach residents to views of Gravesend Bay. It was closed in 2021 for reconstruction and demolished in 2022.
